Chocolate Hazelnut Goat Cheese Melt Food

CHOCOLATE GOAT CHEESE TRUFFLES B-S

Steps:

• In the top of a double boiler, or in a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water (make sure the water does not touch the bowl), melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth.
• Set the melted chocolate aside to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• In a bowl whisk together the goat cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it is light and fluffy.
• Whisk in the melted chocolate until it is well combined.
• Chill, covered, until it is firm, at least 1 hour.
• To form the truffles, take a heaping teaspoon of the chocolate/cheese mixture and lightly roll it into a ball with your hands.
• Roll the finished truffles in the sifted cocoa powder, set them onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper, and chill until they are firm, about 30 minutes.
• The truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT GOAT CHEESE MELT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir the Nutella and cheese together.
• Butter one side of each slice of bread.
• Place 4 slices on your work surface, buttered side down. Spread the cheese and Nutella mixture evenly over the 4 slices so that it is about 1/4 inch thick (any thicker and the sandwich will be too gooey).
• Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.
• Cut off the crusts which helps to pinch the bread together to create a seal.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches in the skillet, cover and cook for 2 minutes or until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese has begun to soften.
• Uncover, and turn the sandwiches over with a spatula. Cook for one minute or until the undersides are golden brown.
• Turn the sandwiches over again, and cook for 30 seconds or until the cheese is soft and creamy.
• Serve immediately.
