Goat cheese is definitely a type of cheese that had never made it to our table in 18+ years, until the end of 2011. Chavrie, the #1 go-to folks for America’s freshest goat cheese, sent my family some to try and I have to say, I didn’t expect me or my bunch to like it all, but 3 of out 5 of us did. Truett wasn’t a fan but he’s 5 and he has lots of time to acquire a taste for new foods. The other was Toby, who is probably as picky as I am but the main reason he wasn’t a fan was because of the pecans. I should have taken that into consideration when I made it.

I looked in my fridge and pantry, thinking about how I could incorporate Chavrie authentically into our ranch style, family friendly menu. I considered many things but decided on a finger food that I could serve up during holidays, get-togethers, and even for our Sunday Super Bowl party. This really is very easy, very few ingredients, but there is a couple of things I’d change.
1) Instead of plopping a huge spoonful of the goat cheese spread on each slice of pretzel roll, I’d spread a thinner layer.
and
2) I’d probably bake for even longer to allow the pretzel roll slices to crust up a bit. Although, I’m not sure how that would effect the goat cheese spread.
With that said, here is how I decided to use the Chavrie goat cheese.
I took the Chavrie Original 5.3oz package, mixed with honey and a few finely chopped pecans, and spread over slices of pretzel rolls. I just baked until the roll slices were warm. I used Sister Shubert’s Pretzel Rolls and sliced them into 4 pieces. Don’t ask me amounts because to be quite honest, I didn’t measure the honey at all. I just poured
