Watermelon and Goat Cheese Appetizer

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 2 small Dulcinea watermelons (or 1 large regular watermelon)
  • 6-8 ounces goat cheese
  • 1-2 tablespoons of milk
  • 1 Persian cucumber
  • A couple of limes

Preparation

Step 1

First, cut 1″ thick slices of watermelon. Then using a 1 1/4″-1 1/2″ round cookie cutter ( about 1 1/4″ high), cut circles out of the melon. The hotel served them in a square shape. If you have a small square cookie cutter, that would work. And if you don’t have cookie cutters, then just cut squares as best as you can. Make the pieces big enough so you can hollow a bit out to pipe in the cheese.

, hollow out a little half round to pipe in goat cheese. To make the goat cheese more pipe-able, I whisked it in a small bowl with a little milk to make it creamy. With a piping bag or plastic zip bag and a star tip, you can make them look fancy.


Directions

With the small end of a melon baller tool, cut little half rounds out of the center of the piece. Whip goat cheese and milk together until creamy. The amount you use will depend on your goat cheese. Place the cheese into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into the indentations. Garnish with a little slice of cucumber. Place on a flat plate, squeeze lime juice over the top and serve.
