Chevre with Pistachios and Honey

(from Sunset, February 2009)

Makes 6 servings

11 to 12 oz. fresh chèvre (goat cheese), at room temperature
2 tablespoons half-and-half
3 tablespoons orange blossom honey
1/3 cup coarsely chopped salted roasted pistachios
Sesame crackers or flatbread

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, whisk goat cheese and half-and-half until smooth. Spoon into a small, shallow gratin dish, spreading level. Bake until cheese is hot in center and beginning to firm up at edges, about 15 minutes.

i did a similar thing with chevre but i topped it with my yummy marinara that i canned in the fall. i served it with a nice multi grain baguette from a great bakery in our neighborhood. simple but really tasty!
