WARM GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Slice the goat cheese into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Dip each slice into the egg wash and then into the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a baking rack set on a sheet pan and chill for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil and butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the goat cheese slices and cook on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside.

• Open the pita bread halves up into pockets. Spread goat cheese onto one side of the inside of each pita pocket. Spread a layer of pesto over the goat cheese. Sprinkle with sun-dried tomatoes. Place pita halves onto a baking sheet.
• Bake for 3 to 5 minutes in the preheated oven, just until the filling is warm, and the bread is lightly toasted.

WARM GOAT CHEESE, BEET AND ARUGULA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, then whisk in 2 tablespoons oil. Toss beets with vinaigrette.
• Arrange bread on a large baking sheet and brush tops with remaining tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and broil 6 inches from heat 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until edges are golden. Remove 4 slices from oven. Turn remaining 4 slices over on baking sheet and spread thickly with goat cheese. Broil 1 minute more and transfer to plates. Top goat cheese with drained beets, onion, arugula, and remaining bread, toasted sides up.

HERBED GOAT CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• To make the spread: Place the cream cheese, goat cheese, garlic, thyme, parsley, 5 tablespoons milk, salt, and pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if the spread is very thick.
• To make the sandwiches: spread each slice of the bread with the goat cheese spread. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and arrange on half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread and press slightly. Cut the sandwiches into halves, thirds, or triangles.

WARM GOAT-CHEESE TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut baguette into 16 slices (each about 1/2 inch thick). Space slices evenly on a baking sheet. Cut cheese into 16 rounds, placing them atop slices as you work. (If cheese crumbles, press it firmly onto bread.)
• Drizzle oil over cheese, letting it drip onto crusts. Bake until undersides of bread are golden brown and cheese begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top each toast with 1/2 teaspoon pesto. Serve warm.
