Very Festive Yuletide Cheese Log!

Hey there folks! With 9 days left until Christmas you're probably looking for ways to out do your party from last year. Sure, everyone loves your onion soup mix dip but lets give them something more this year. How about a soft goat cheese log wrapped in pistachio pieces and dried cranberries? Sound too complicated? Fear not! It's super easy and magically delicious. So sit back and relax because this is too easy.

You'll need:

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup salted pisachios

1- 4-6 oz goat cheese log

You will probably be able to find the goat cheese log in the fine cheese section of your grocery store. Sometimes they come in a 4 oz package and sometimes they come in a 6 oz package, however, either one will work. 

You'll need to run your pistachios and cranberries under a butcher knife to chop them up a little or in a food processor just a couple of pulses to get them at a coarse chop. Do not do them together or you will end up with pistachio mush. After you get them chopped and ready, place the cranberries and pistachios on a shallow plate and mix them up. Next, roll the cheese log in the pistachio and cranberry pieces. You'll want to let the cheese sit for a little so it gets soft because it is a crumbly cheese and it will fall apart when you try to roll it if it's too cold.

After that refridgerate until 30 minutes before your shindig and place it on a pretty plate and you're good to go! Your friends and family will love it and marvel at it's beauty. Enjoy!

Happy Eating!
