Goat Cheese Board

Have you seen our latest viral butter board video? Butter boards are one of the best creations we have ever come across. After the butter board trend went viral on both Instagram and TikTok, we had to make this creamy goat cheese version.

What stands out

This Goat Cheese Board is suited to a large gathering or party. You can serve it with lots of fresh bread on the side and individual butter knives for all your guests. It is going to be the most show-stopping board at every party, we can guarantee it.

What is a Goat Cheese Board

A goat cheese board is a board where you can add softened creamy cheese (such as goat cheese) and any toppings you prefer and serve it with a loaf of fresh bread. Our board consists of the most beautiful ingredients and textures, and we know you’ll fall in love with it.

Our butter board with goat cheese includes flaky sea salt, fresh figs, fig preserves, walnuts for crunch, and hot honey for a little bit of spice. These flavors slathered on a fresh piece of bread will have you and your guests craving more.

Swaps

There are so many ways to personalize a holiday butter board, including:

• Feel free to use any creamy cheese like Boursin.
• You can also make this board totally vegan by using plant-based spreadable cheese and using agave instead of honey.
• If you don’t have hot honey you can use regular honey, make our Hot Honey recipe, or mix honey with chili flakes.
• You can use crushed or candied pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds, or any nuts you love.

Kitchen tip

The cheese should be soft so that it’s straightforward to spread, and you can use any board you have at home. This can even be made on a plate.

Serve it with

• Warm, sliced crusty bread is a must alongside a butter board. A fresh baguette is the choice.
• You could also serve this with pita bread cut into triangles and warmed for a few minutes in the oven.
• For straightforward entertaining, serve this board as a starter, followed by a light and refreshing salad, such as our Fennel and Cherry Salad or Simple Green Salad.

Questions

Why do you suggest lining the serving board with parchment paper?

Cutting boards, especially wood ones, can hold onto contaminants and germs, even after being well-washed. To ensure no cross-contamination with whatever was previously prepared on the board, line the board in parchment paper.

Can we make this vegan?

You certainly can! You can use vegan butter or a vegan, spreadable cheese instead of goat cheese.

Can this be made ahead of time?

You can line your board in parchment and spread the softened butter across the parchment the night before serving. Store in the refrigerator, and then add the toppings at the last minute, before serving.

Ingredients

Makes 8 people

• 250 grams goat cheese, or any creamy, spreadable cheese you like, softened to room temp
• ½ tablespoon lemon zest, to taste
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fig jam, a few dollops
• 2 figs, cut into thin rounds
• ¼ cup walnuts, crushed
• 1 teaspoon honey, hot honey or regular for drizzling
• fresh herbs or edible flowers, for presentation (I used lemon thyme)
• fresh bread, for serving

Equipment

• Butter Knives
• Small Cutting Board

Method

1. Line a serving or cutting board in parchment paper. Take the softened cheese and smear it onto the parchment. Make it look presentable and layer in swirls on the serving board.
2. Sprinkle on the salt, measure everything with your heart. We take our knife and dollop on the fig preserve, add our fig slices and drizzle on hot honey. Add the crushed walnuts and garnish with lemon thyme, herbs of choice, or edible flowers. Serve with fresh bread and enjoy.
