Ingredients

Dip:

  • 4 disks Laura Chenel Black Truffle Marinated Goat Cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • Up to 1/4 cup heavy cream, added gradually
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
     

Finishing:

  • Reserved oil from the Laura Chenel Black Truffle Marinated Goat Cheese
  • Pomegranate seeds
  • Chopped pistachios
  • Fresh thyme
  • Fresh sage leaves
  • Neutral oil, for frying
  • Crostini, for serving

Instructions

  1. Add the goat cheese and yogurt to a food processor or mixing bowl. 
  2. Begin whipping while gradually adding the heavy cream until the mixture becomes light, smooth, and airy. You may not need the full 1/4 cup depending on the texture of the cheese.
  3. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a serving bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
  5. Meanwhile, heat neutral oil to approximately 350°F. Carefully add the sage leaves and fry briefly until crisp and lightly golden, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. When ready to serve, finish the whipped goat cheese with reserved black truffle oil, pomegranate seeds, chopped pistachios, fried sage, and a small amount of fresh thyme.

Serve with crostini for dipping, or alongside simply prepared meat, fish, or vegetables as a creamy sauce.
