Ingredients

• 200 grams Goat cheese (room temperature)
• 3 tablespoons Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, chopped)

• 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 1 serving Crusty bread or crackers (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Place the goat cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to mix.

Step 2

2. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped capers, minced garlic, and sweet paprika to the bowl with the goat cheese.

Step 3

3. Drizzle in the olive oil for added creaminess and flavor.

Step 4

4. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste as needed.

Step 5

5. Using a fork or spoon, thoroughly mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be creamy with distributed accents of tomatoes and capers.

Step 6

6. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create swirls and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring it back to room temperature before serving for the best spreadable texture.
