After serving a delightful cheese platter to your friends, you’ll likely have some leftovers. If you’re planning to host again the next day or the day after, these partially consumed cheeses might not look as appealing. Here’s a creative trick, more than a recipe, to avoid an extra trip to the cheese shop (which can be quite expensive!): recreate a beautiful cheese log by combining different cheese leftovers, which turns out to be both presentable and truly delicious.
Ingredients
– Goat Cheese: 75g
– Sheep Cheese: 75g
– Soft Butter: 30g
– Ground Walnuts: 2 tbsp
Preparation
Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 0 minutes
1. Mix the Cheeses
Start by taking your leftover cheeses and a few cubes of butter (or even feta) out to reach room temperature. Chop them into pieces. Blend the cheeses and butter in a mini food processor. You might need to do this in two or three batches, making sure to balance the types of cheeses each time.
(If you don’t have a mini food processor, you can also mash the cheeses using a fork and some elbow grease, but don’t give up just because you’re missing a gadget).
2. Form the Log
Place the cheese mixture on plastic wrap and loosely wrap it to form a kind of log. Once you have shaped it into a log, seal the plastic wrap tightly and refrigerate for one or two hours.
3. Finishing Touches
Blend a handful or two of walnut kernels in the mini food processor to turn them into powder. Spread the walnut powder on a large plate and roll the cheese log in it, making sure to coat the ends as well. Your cheese mixture is now ready to impress, and it’s that simple! Alternatively, if you don’t have walnuts, you can also roll the log in breadcrumbs.
Note
You can similarly use creamy cow’s milk cheeses like Camembert, Reblochon, etc., to create this delightful cheese log.
