Goats! And my friends at Spring Mill Farm.

My latest Burg article was a feature on a local Lynchburg farm I love - Spring Mill Farm. Not only do they make delicious fresch chevre in a variety of flavors, they also make some killer goat's milk feta and even chocolate/goat cheese truffles. Anyway, read the full article here to find out just how awesome they are, and to read about cooking with goat cheese.

For now, I will leave you with one of the recipes from the article - Cremini Tartlets with Chevre. Enjoy!


























CREMINI TARTLETS WITH FRESH CHEVRE
Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ pound cremini (baby portabello) mushrooms, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
¼ cup dry white wine
Spring Mill Farms Bare Naked (plain) Chèvre

Instructions:
1. Unroll puff pasty sheet on lightly floured surface. Cut in thirds, and then thirds again, until you have nine squares. Place squares on greased cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium high. Sauté onions until translucent. Add garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms begin to brown.

3. Add wine and herbs to mushroom mixture and cook until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat.

4. Spread about two tablespoons chèvre on each puff pastry square, leaving space around the edges. Top with the same amount of mushroom mixture.

5. Bake tartlets until the edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Makes 5-6 Tartlets
