MEDITERRANEAN GOAT CHEESE SPREAD (WW)



Mediterranean Goat Cheese Spread (Ww) image

Sun-dried tomatoes are a favorite of ours, so this dip was a must. You can buy herb-flavored goat cheese and experiment with different flavors. NOTE: Gently fold the olives and tomatoes into the cheese mixture; over-mixing may turn the spread an unappetizing purplish pink color. From "WW 5-Ingredient-15 Minute Recipes" and = 1 point. Served on 1 melba toast round = 2 points.

MEDITERRANEAN STRATA WITH GOAT CHEESE



Mediterranean strata with goat cheese image

A staple for breakfast or brunch, stratas are comforting, warming, and satisfying. The egg-soaked bread and vegetables are topped with rich, creamy goat cheese, and then baked, creating a delicious mix of crispy edges and a tender interior. Here we've used red onion, cremini mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes to adds some additional oomph to this strata. The mushrooms and onion get sautéed in butter first to add an extra layer of flavor and remove some of the liquid so the strata doesn't get soggy. If you like, you can prepare the strata through Step 3 the night before, cover, and refrigerate. When you're ready to cook it, uncover the casserole dish, bring it to room temperature, and bake as directed.

SOUTHERN MEDITERRANEAN GOAT CHEESE SPREAD OR DIP



Southern Mediterranean Goat Cheese Spread or Dip image

This is my own creation inspired by, if not entirely true to, the cuisines of the Southern Mediterranean which I love. Use it as a dip, spread it on any type of toasted bread. I've used it on grilled steak to good advantage. You'll get 16 servings of 1 Tbsp each.

Provided by Amber Maechler

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 shallot, finely diced
1 cup balsamic vinegar
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 ounces goat cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallot until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour balsamic vinegar into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until balsamic vinegar mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir often.
  • Cut chicken breasts from one side through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
  • Spread half the goat cheese onto one half of each chicken breast and drizzle 1/3 of the reduced balsamic vinegar mixture over the goat cheese. Close the chicken breasts over the goat cheese and secure with toothpicks. Arrange chicken into a baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 1/3 of the balsamic reduction.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside, the filling is hot, and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a filled breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
