Goat cheese adds a tangy, creamy flavor to any dish and it pairs well with vegetables and grains. You can use it to stuff proteins, as a spread for toast and or add it to a salad. Recipes like Apple-Cranberry Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese and Roasted Root Vegetables with Goat Cheese Polenta are flavorful and savory. 01 of 13 Spinach & Goat Cheese Bisque View Recipe A little fresh goat cheese and a touch of butter are just enough to make this spinach soup silky, creamy and a little nutty--but not enough to overdo it. We use dark green spinach for this soup because of the lovely color it produces, though you could use red-veined spinach and have just as good a flavor in a more Army-inspired khaki color. 02 of 13 Roasted Root Vegetables with Goat Cheese Polenta View Recipe This is true healthy comfort food--a bowl of soft, creamy polenta topped with warm roasted vegetables infused with garlic and sage. 03 of 13 Apple-Cranberry Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese View Recipe The tangy-sweet dressing in this spinach salad beautifully amplifies the apples and cranberries--and the creamy goat cheese transforms it into the perfect salad.

Top with some rotisserie chicken, chickpeas or tofu. 04 of 13 Goat Cheese-Stuffed Flank Steak View Recipe The creamy, colorful goat cheese filling for this rolled flank steak recipe takes the flavor to the next level and makes for a presentation that wows.

Serve with a simple salad or roasted vegetables to complete this easy dinner recipe. 05 of 13 Goat Cheese & Fresh Herb Omelet View Recipe The secret to this easy omelet recipe is choosing a really great goat cheese.
