Continuing along with my Open house planning, next up on the menu a Pecan Crusted Goat Cheese Log. This super easy goat cheese log is the perfect addition to any holiday party. You can serve it on it’s own with an assortment of your favorite crackers and vegetable crudités, or you can thinly slice it to serve over your favorite mixed green salad.


How to make a Pecan-Crusted Goat Cheese Logs

There are tons of wonderful variations you can create with just a few simple ingredients. For example, you can use toasted walnuts, almonds, cashews, peanuts, pine nuts, or pistachios instead of pecans. You can also eliminate the nuts completely and use your favorite fresh herbs. Some people like to use  edible flowers or dried fruits but not this gal.  I am all about nuts or herbs.  For a truly decadent treat, try coating a goat cheese log in a semi-sweet chocolate ganash topped with chopped peanuts.

Tip: If you want to make several varieties, it is more cost-effective to buy the larger 11 oz. goat cheese logs and cut them into 3 smaller logs.

Let’s get Log Rolling

To make the perfect cheese log you will need:

1 4 oz. goat cheese log, chilled
2 T. honey
2/3 c. pecans, toasted and finely chopped
assorted crackers and crudités (AKA Veggies), to serve


How to Make a delicious crusted Cheese Log:

 1)Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2)Spread pecans on rimmed baking sheet and place in oven for 10 minutes. Remove halfway through and flip the pecans with a spatula to toast evenly. Remove from oven and cool completely before chopping.

3)Remove goat cheese log from package and drizzle with honey. Gently spread honey with your fingers until the entire surface is evenly covered.

4)Pour chopped pecans onto a small clean plate. Gently roll the honey-coated goat cheese log in the nuts until entire surface is coated. Apply gentle pressure with your fingers to fill in any open spaces.

5)Transfer to serving plate and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator until 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers and crudités – or slice into rounds to top a mixed green salad.

Tip: Regular kitchen knives can “squish” the log into awkward shapes while cutting. Use dental floss to slice logs into uniform, round slices instead. However, be sure to use non-mint flavored floss when you do!
