These goat cheese canapes are perfect for a party, or even a light dinner. Â Goat Cheese goes perfectly with a nice class of dry white wine. This cheese spread is combined with cream cheese, seasonings, and topped with pesto. These are quick and easy to prepare for your next special occasion.
I don’t know about you, but I love to serve up little appetizers before a dinner with friends and family. This way if I am running late, or some of my guests are running late I can offer them something until everyone is ready to eat dinner. This is the perfect party recipe, because you can make the cheese spread ahead of time, actually you could make it a couple of days ahead, and simply make up your canapes when you are ready to serve. Now these could be also be topped with a sun dried tomato, or maybe even a spiced nut, or some spicy picked vegetables. You have lots of options here.

I love goat cheese in any form! Hot, cold, warm. I recently found a honey goat cheese. Oh man! Cheese is sooooo good and a tart goat cheese is wonderful.
