Even your food can "wear" flowers- as long as you're sourcing them from a no-spray source, or growing them yourself. These Goat Cheese and Chive Hors d'oeuvres with Edible Pansy Flowers are perfect for any kind of gathering.Pansy- Goat Cheese & Chive Hors d'oeuvres are simple and easy to make- if you don't grow your own Pansies or organic flowers - check with your local market- my friend Kameel at Martha's Vineyard- can get them in for me- in a few days! Other flowers can be used besides Pansy- mix it up with Violas, Nasturtium, Dianthus, or blooms from Fresh Herbs- like Basil, Mint, Sage or Thyme. I love the way the fresh dill leaves are whispy and elegant- plus they add a lot of flavor. Chive blossoms can be used when they are in season as well.Experiment with other types of herbs- added to the Goat Cheese... instead of Chives- use Basil, Mint, Tarragon, Thyme, Sage, Pineapple Sage or even Chickory!Ingredients:One 8 ounce Package of Goat Cheese1/4 cup chopped fresh chives1 small loaf of French BreadFresh Organic Pansy BlossomsFresh Organic Dill LeavesRecipe:In a small bowl combine the Goat cheese and chopped chives- mix together (OPTION- you add a few drops of organic Olive oil - to making mixing easier and mixture more spreadable).Slice the loaf of bread- at an angle- to create beautiful and tasty slices of breadSpread the Goat Cheese Mixture onto the slices of breadGarnish with Fresh Pansy Blossoms and small pieces of Dill LeavesServe immediately or refrigerate for a few hours- if you holding them- wait to place the flowers and dill - until just before serving!Enjoy!
