Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Goat cheese (room temperature)
- 3 tablespoons Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Capers (rinsed and chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 serving Crusty bread or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
1. Place the goat cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to mix.
2. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped capers, minced garlic, and sweet paprika to the bowl with the goat cheese.
3. Drizzle in the olive oil for added creaminess and flavor.
4. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste as needed.
5. Using a fork or spoon, thoroughly mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be creamy with distributed accents of tomatoes and capers.
6. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create swirls and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
7. Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring it back to room temperature before serving for the best spreadable texture.
