All in Appetizer

Goat Cheese Appetizer Log with Pistachios, Cranberries and Caramelized Shallots

I absolutely love a good charcuterie board – and honestly, who doesn’t? There’s always something for everyone. One of my favorite additions to a spread is a non-dairy cheese option, and goat cheese fits the bill perfectly. I’m especially fond of Le Cendrillon™, an ash-covered, soft-ripened goat cheese. Drizzled with local honey and paired with a crisp cracker (sometimes even one made from my own sourdough discard, speckled with sesame seeds and herbs), it's an elegant and flavorful bite.
