Rosemary and Goat Cheese with Ginger Preserves Appetizer

Rosemary and Goat Cheese with Ginger Preserves Appetizer

Ingredients

• 8 ounces of cream cheese, room temperature
• 4 ounces of goat cheese, room temperature
• 1 TB finely chopped rosemary
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste, I use several twists of my pepper mill
• 4 ounces ginger preserves, I use Mackays

Instructions

• Mix cream cheese, goat cheese, black pepper and rosemary well. I did it by hand which was very easy because it was at room temperature. But you could always do it in your food processor.
• Line a small bowl or ramekin with saran wrap.(I used a 12 ounce ramekin)
• Put the cream cheese mixture in the bowl and wrap saran wrap around it. Push down so that it evenly fills the bottom of your ramekin.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• When you are ready to serve, pull the cheese out of the ramekin by pulling on the saran wrap.
• Invert in on your plate and smooth out any wrinkles that the saran wrap may have caused.
• Warm up the ginger preserves slightly and pour over the cheese.
• Serve with crackers, but this pairs especially well with Fruit and Nut Crisps, link in post.
