Ingredients:
– Fresh goat cheese, softened
– Chopped walnuts or pecans
– Fresh herbs (such as dill and chives), finely chopped
– Cooked and drained beets, diced
– Cream cheese, softened
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A drizzle of honey (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork or electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Fold in the diced beets gently, allowing the color to marinate the mixture beautifully.
3. Add the chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
4. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Transfer the cheese mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log.
5. Wrap the cheese log tightly, twisting the ends of the plastic wrap to secure it. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
6. Before serving, unwrap the log and roll it in the chopped walnuts or pecans to coat the outside.
