This is so simple that we hesitate to call it a recipe because it comes together so quickly.

more about:

1 5-oz. log fresh, mild goat cheese, at room temperature
heavy cream, as needed
24 crackers, such as Bremner Wafers or water crackers
2 Tbs. good quality hot pepper jelly
1 Tbs. snipped chives

Mash the goat cheese in a bowl. If it's especially crumbly, a touch of cream until you get a smooth consistency. On each cracker, spread about a teaspoon of goat cheese. Top each cracker with 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper jelly. Sprinkle with snipped chives and serve.

by chefdana, 5/29/2008At first you think: what the heck? Goat cheese and hot pepper jelly? But for people with a high tolerance for heat, tanginess, and a bit of gastronomic whimsy, these are really good! And super easy! I plan to use green pepper jelly and red pepper jelly for Christmas appetizers.
