Herb Pancake Wraps With Goats Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan and add the spring onions and courgette. Cook, stirring frequently, to soften the courgette and drive off any excess moisture. Tip the veg into a bowl and wash the pan.
• Beat an egg with 1 tbsp water, half the herbs and some black pepper. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan, pour in the egg mixture and swirl the pan to set it thinly on the base. Cook for a couple of mins, tip onto a plate and repeat with the other egg, 1 tbsp water and remaining herbs.
• Spread the goat's cheese down the centre of each pancake and top with the courgette mix, scatter over the tomatoes, olives and baby kale, then roll up and cut in half. Alternatively, spread the goat's cheese over the pancakes, top with the filling and serve open. Eat with some radishes on the side, if you like.

Steps:

• For the spread, place the cream cheese, goat cheese, garlic, thyme, parsley, 5 tablespoons milk, salt and pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if the spread is very thick. To make the sandwiches, spread each slice of bread with the goat cheese spread. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and arrange on half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread. Press slightly, trim off the crusts and cut the sandwiches into halves, thirds or triangles. Make these sandwiches in the morning, then cover with damp paper towels and plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cut just before serving.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the vinegar, honey, olive oil, mustard, garlic powder, basil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Place the chicken in a shallow dish or large zip-top plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the goat cheese spread: Place the garlic in a food processor and pulse until minced. Add the goat cheese, chives, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Process until fluffy. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the wraps: Heat a grill pan (or outdoor grill) to medium-high heat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the grill. Add the eggplant, bell peppers and onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• To assemble the wraps, spread the goat cheese spread on the tortillas. Top evenly with the chicken and vegetables. Roll up, burrito-style, and cut in half.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy baking sheets. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the herbs, lemon zest, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using about 2 teaspoons of cheese for each, form the goat cheese into 1-inch diameter balls. Roll the cheese balls in the herb mixture to coat completely. Arrange the cheese balls on a platter. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over and around the cheese balls. Serve with the crostini. Garnish with herb sprigs.
• The crostini and cheese balls can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store the crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate the cheese balls.

Steps:

• Place the milk, water, eggs, canola oil and salt in a blender. Cover the blender, and turn on at low speed. Add the flours, and increase the speed to high. Blend for one minute. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for one to two hours. When ready to cook, stir in the herbs.
• Place a seasoned or nonstick 6- to 8-inch crepe pan over medium heat. Brush with butter or oil. When the pan is hot, and just before it begins to smoke, remove from the heat and ladle in three to four tablespoons of batter (depending on the size of your pan). Tilt or swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly, and return to the heat. Cook for about one minute until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula. Turn and cook on the other side for 30 seconds. Turn onto a plate. Continue until all of the batter is used up. You'll get about 12 crepes with an 8-inch pan, 16 with a 6-inch pan.
• Combine the cottage cheese and goat cheese in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and blend until smooth. Add the yogurt and pepper, and blend together. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Cut each crepe in half. Spread a scant tablespoon of the herbed goat cheese on the less cooked side of each crepe. Fold in half, then in half again. Arrange on a platter. To serve warm, heat for 30 seconds in a microwave or for 10 minutes in a low oven.
