WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE WITH NOLA SAVORY PRALINE SAUCE
I’m a huge fan of goat cheese. But let me just tell you, whipping goat cheese makes it even better!! It becomes smooth and fluffy while maintaining the tang. So good!
I made a savory praline pecan sauce to top the goat cheese. How can praline be savory, you ask? Two ingredients, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard add a savory flare to the sauce. And, although it has coconut sugar and is slightly sweet Worcestershire and mustard add enough balance. The combination is superb!
This appetizer spread can be served either hot or cold. Actually, I can’t make up my mind about which way I like it better.
INGREDIENTS WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE WITH NOLA SAVORY PRALINE SAUCE
For the goat cheese, you’ll need
- Goat cheese. You can also use feta cheese.
- Greek yogurt.
- Agave nectar. As well, you can use honey.
For the praline sauce, you’ll need
- Pecans.
- Sugar. You can also use coconut sugar or brown sugar.
- Worcestershire
- Brown mustard
- Butter. I have not tested this recipe with margarine.
HOW TO MAKE WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE
To a food processor, add goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and agave. Pulse for 30-second increments. You may need to stir the cheese between each pulse so that all of it gets creamy. At first, the cheese will break apart but keep processing and it will come back together and blend into a smooth and fluffy mixture.
HOW TO MAKE SAVORY PRALINE SAUCE
This praline sauce is super easy to make.
- First, toast the chopped pecans and set them aside.
- Next, add the
butter , Worcestershire, mustard, and sugar to a small saucepan. - Heat it until the
butter melts and the sugar dissolves. This will take 4 to 5 minutes on medium heat. Stir to combine. - After the sugar has dissolved, remove your pan from the heat source and stir in the pecans.
- Allow this mixture to cool slightly before topping the goat cheese.
