WHAT IS GOAT CHEESE? 

Goat cheese is called chèvre, which translates to "goat" in French. It is manufactured from goat milk and comes in various flavours and textures, including creamy and crumbly, mild or sour, and young or old. As its popularity and demand increase daily, flavours are added to it to make it even more versatile. This cheese's distinctive flavour comes from a flavorful fatty acid known as capric acid, which also promotes the growth of bacteria required for maintaining good digestive health.

RECIPES FEATURING COURTYARD FARMS GOAT CHEESE 

Goat cheese is a delicious and versatile ingredient, and we're excited to bring you recipes that showcase our unique product.   

GOAT CHEESE OMELETTE    

Ingredients 

• 4 large eggs  

• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat milk or water  
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper  
• ⅛ teaspoon salt  
• ⅓ cup crumbled goat cheese  
• 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish  

• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish  
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil  

Directions   

Step 1: In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, milk (or water), pepper, and salt. Combine goat cheese, parsley and chives in a small bowl.   

Step 2: Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook the mixture, occasionally stirring, for about 3 minutes or until the edges are firm. Gently loosen a cooked egg's edge with a rubber spatula, tipping the pan so the uncooked egg may stream below. Repeat this process until hardly any runny egg is left. Over the omelette, evenly distribute the cheese mixture. Cover the pan and simmer for 2 to 4 minutes or until the eggs are set. Fold the omelette half by sliding a spatula under one side, then transfer it to a plate.  

Step 3: Cut the omelette in half to serve. If desired, add extra herbs as a garnish.  

POTATO FRITTATA WITH PESTO & GOAT CHEESE  

Ingredients   

• 4 medium potatoes (about 600g), thinly sliced   
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped   
• 8 large eggs, lightly beaten   
• 1 tbsp olive oil   
• 100g Courtyard Farms goat's cheese,   
• 3 tbsp pesto   
• handful rocket leaves   
• tomato and basil salad, to serve (optional)   

Directions   

Step 1: Boil the potatoes for 5 minutes in salted water. While waiting, preheat the oven to 220°C/200°F. Drain the potatoes, then whisk them into the egg mixture after combining the garlic, eggs, and salt.   

Step 2: An oven-safe frying pan with hot oil is used to add the egg and potato combination. Cook the frittata in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until it is well heated through, after cooking it over low heat for 5 minutes or until two-thirds of it is set.   

Step 3: Place the goat's cheese around the frittata's perimeter and top with pesto. Serve with a tomato and basil salad and garnish with rocket leaves.
