Whipped Goat Cheese with Dijon Roasted Cranberries

Serves: 4-6     Prep Time: 8 minutes     Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 ½ tablespoons Maille Honey Dijon Mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Zest and juice of an orange
• 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
• Pinch of sea salt
• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 11 ounces goat cheese

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a small cast iron skillet, stir together 2 tablespoons of the Maille Honey Dijon Mustard, honey, zest and juice, thyme leaves, salt and cranberries. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbling and the cranberries have cooked down. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
3. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whip together the remaining ½ tablespoon of mustard with the goat cheese. Once the cranberries have fully cooled, top with the goat cheese. If you’d like you can garnish with a drizzle of honey and additional thyme and orange zest, before serving with fruit and crackers.

To serve:

Slice pears and apples, melba toasts, crackers, pita crisps

Notes

• This recipe can be made using Maille Dijon Originale in place of the Honey Dijon. Just add 1 additional tablespoon of honey to the cranberry mixture.
• If you prefer a sweeter taste, add ½ tablespoon of honey to the goat cheese mixture.
• The roasted cranberries can be made up to two days in advance. Simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
