Serves 4 / Prep time: 10 minutes
Goat cheese is a marvelous tart creation that has about 12 grams of fat, 10 grams of protein, and zero carbs in a 2-ounce portion, which is the recommended serving size in this recipe. Try to find soft goat cheese because semihard and hard types actually do contain carbs. The soft product can be found in most grocery stores in prepackaged logs.
6 ounces chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (8-ounce) log goat cheese
1. Place the walnuts, oregano, parsley, thyme, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
2. Pour the walnut mixture onto a plate and roll the goat cheese log in the nut mixture, pressing so the cheese is covered and the walnut mixture sticks to the log.
3. Wrap the cheese in plastic and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
4. Slice and enjoy!
