How to make your own Charred Jalapeño Goat Cheese.
This recipe is one of my favorites and it is so simple to make. A couple of years ago I found out that I was severely allergic to cow’s milk. You got it, that means, no ice cream, nachos, pizza, cheese plates, etc. For a half Italian, half greek girl that was like telling me my worst nightmare! However, there was light at the end of my cheesy tunnel, I went to the doctor and found out that I could have goats milk just not cow. You could imagine my delight, I ate every kind of goat cheese I could put my hands, on feta, etc.
After while, the typical goat cheese flavor started to get to me so I started adding things to it. It is such a versatile cheese that flavors just melded so well. The Charred Jalapeño flavor is one of my favorites, I am spicy girl so this one is right up my alley. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, I put it on everything, toast, bagels, pizza, sandwiched , tacos you name it I probably tried it!
