Ingredients

  • 3 oz. mild soft goat (chèvre) cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices cracked wheat bread
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, peeled if desired, sliced

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, combine goat cheese, mint, parsley, chives and salt; blend well.
  • 2
    Spread mixture on 2 slices of the bread. Top with cucumbers and remaining slices of bread.

  • Chèvre cheese is goat’s-milk cheese; chèvre is French for “goat.” Firm, room-temperature goat cheese can be thinned with a tablespoon of milk. Stir the milk into the cheese, then continue with the recipe as directed.
  • Chives are a hardy perennial herb related to onions and leeks. Their long bright-green stems are hollow. Both the stems and the pretty purple flowers make attractive, aromatic garnishes. Add chives directly to a recipe by snipping the long stems with a scissors.
  • For a refreshing appetizer, try Cucumber-Goat Cheese Crackers. Spread the herbed goat cheese on crackers. Top the cheese with a slice of cucumber and a few snipped chives.
