Simply mix chopped flowers (petals and leaves) into softened goat cheese, then shape into rounds and pat more flowers on top. Any edible flower will work; peppery nasturtium, borage, and pansy are shown here. This recipe appears in our cookbook, "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter). Ingredients 2 large logs (11 ounces each) fresh goat cheese, room temperature 1 cup packed arugula, coarsely chopped Freshly ground pepper 2 cups loosely packed edible blossoms and leaves, coarsely chopped Crackers or thinly sliced baguette rounds, for serving Directions Stir 1 goat-cheese log in a bowl until smooth. Mix in arugula, and season with pepper. In another bowl, stir remaining goat-cheese log until smooth. Mix in 1 1/2 cups flowers and leaves, and season with pepper. Form each mixture into 2 or 3 disks (each about 1/2 inch thick). Roll in remaining blossoms. Place disks on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Serve with crackers or baguette rounds. Rate it Print
