Recipe for 4 people
Preparation time: 15 to 20 mins
Cooking time: no cooking required

Ingredients

 

– 180 g of fresh goat cheese
– 100 g of light whipping cream
– Celery flavoured olive oil (home-made)
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper
– 1 lime
– Mix of fresh garden herbs

Recipe steps

 

1. Place your fresh goat cheese in a bowl and, using a mixer, blend at low speed until the cheese becomes homogeneous and takes on a smooth texture. Add the celery oil (you can replace this with hazelnut or walnut oil).

2. Slowly add the whipping cream while increasing the mixer’s speed until you obtain a whipped cream cheese texture. At the last moment add salt & pepper and a little olive oil.

3. Once you’ve reached the right consistency, add a mix of pre-washed fresh garden or mountain herbs, as well as a little lime zest to add some freshness to the crémeux.

4. You could add some croûtons made by cutting some bread into small cubes measuring 5 mm by 5 mm and baking them in the oven (150° C) on a tray with olive oil, garlic and rosemary and a little salt until golden brown.

To be enjoyed as a starter.

Tips from the chef

This goat cheese crémeux can also be used as a savoury spread for an aperitif with crunchy vegetables or on your cheeseboard.

It can be made in many different ways (depending on the season and the herbs available) but is always a winning dish!

Bon appétit !
