Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pounds Homemade Goat Cheese
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add goat cheese, in batches, and beat until well combined and no lumps of butter remain. Season with salt and pepper; beat until well combined.

Divide goat cheese mixture into 3 equal portions. Using an offset spatula, carefully spread one portion of the goat cheese mixture over the bottom of the prepared terrine mold; top with pesto, spreading evenly to cover.

Having lived in Nantucket and visited Sfoglia, I was surprised to hearn that the Owens used to keep their goats at the property that was my family's inn/farm.

thanks for revising recipe. since it can be sliced, does that mean it can be turned out onto a plate before slicing?
I've been making a recipe similar to this with cream cheese and its always a hit at parties, I can't wait to try it with goat cheese. Other flavor combinations work well too, basil pesto and sun dried tomato is really good as well
There seems to be a duplication of step 3 and the first step has been omitted. We would like to try the recipe but with this error, we can't
Recipe looked interesting But...i. As much as I love Martha, I really needed the picture. 2. Have you priced goat cheese lately. I am not about to make my own adn here it costs abot $5 an ounce, times 36 ounces!
OK here is where you can purchase the Mesophallic DVI
WWW, Keeners,com................good luck..........Deb
Martha will not be happy. I watched the show and wanted this recipe. You skipped all of the first step in placement of the layers. Shame on you.
Step 3 is incorrect and needs to be changed!
