Cranberry Hazelnut Goat Cheese Log

Step 1: Place goat cheese in food processor work bowl. Pulse several times until cheese is crumbled.

Step 2: Add orange zest and dried cranberries to crumbled goat cheese. Pulse for 5 seconds, or until cheese mixture starts to form a ball.

Step 3: Remove cheese mixture from work bowl and separate into two balls.

Step 4: Form each cheese ball into a log shape approximately 2x4 inches each.

Step 5: Place half of the nuts onto a piece of wax paper. Roll one goat cheese log over nuts, covering the entire surface of the log, gently pressing to assure the nuts stick.

Step 6: Repeat with the remaining second log and nuts. Wrap the logs individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.

Step 7: Serve with crackers or baguette toasts.

Step 8: Logs will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.
