📣 Vibrant & Earthy: Roasted Beet & Citrus Goat Cheese Log! ❤️🍊

Looking for a show-stopping appetizer that's both beautiful and delicious? This Roasted Beet & Citrus Goat Cheese Log is a vibrant and flavorful treat that will wow your guests! The earthy sweetness of roasted beets pairs perfectly with the tangy goat cheese and bright citrus notes. ✨

Ingredients:

1 large beet, roasted, peeled, and finely diced
8 oz goat cheese, softened
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Zest and juice of 1/2 orange
Zest and juice of 1/4 lemon
1 tbsp honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Crackers, crostini, or endive leaves, for serving
Instructions:

Roast the Beet: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the beet, leaving about an inch of the stem and root intact. Wrap tightly in foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Let cool, then peel and finely dice. (Roasting intensifies the beet's sweetness!)
Combine & Mix: In a bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, diced roasted beet, toasted walnuts, orange zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until well combined. ❤️
Shape & Chill: Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the log to firm up. ❄️
Serve & Enjoy: Once chilled, slice the cheese log into rounds and serve with your favorite crackers, crostini, or endive leaves for a sophisticated presentation.
Tips & Tricks for Flavor Elevation:

Garnish Glam: Sprinkle with chopped fresh dill or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.🌿
Citrus Boost: Add a pinch of orange or lemon zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor. 🍊🍋
Presentation Perfection: Serve on a platter garnished with fresh beet slices, orange segments, and toasted walnuts for a beautiful and colorful presentation.
