Bring gourmet flair to your holiday spread with this Garlic Herb Cheese Log. Creamy cheeses are blended with garlic and fresh herbs, then rolled in crunchy chopped nuts for a stunning and delicious party appetizer. Make-ahead friendly and perfect for crackers, crostini, or veggie platters!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 4 oz goat cheese (or substitute with more cream cheese)

  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 cup mixed chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped herbs (for garnish in coating)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and goat cheese. Mix until smooth and fluffy.

  2. Stir in garlic, parsley, chives, oregano, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.

  3. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Spoon the cheese mixture into the center and shape into a log. Wrap tightly.

  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

  5. On a plate, mix chopped nuts with 1 tbsp fresh herbs.

  6. Unwrap the chilled cheese log and roll it in the nut mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly.

  7. Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • This cheese log can be made up to 3 days in advance—store wrapped in the fridge.

  • Customize the herb mix to your taste: dill, thyme, or rosemary also work well.

  • Add a drizzle of honey before serving for a sweet-salty twist.
