      HeartBeets

      Heartbeets with Nutty Goat Cheese Filling
      A delightful appetizer of heart-shaped beet slices filled with a creamy, nutty, and slightly sweet goat cheese blend.

      Ingredients
      For the beets
      2–3 medium beets (boiled and peeled)
      Heart-shaped cookie cutter or small knife

      For the filling
      1 cup goat cheese (or feta)
      15 almonds
      15 pistachios
      1 tablespoon honey

      Method
      Begin by boiling the beets in water until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Allow them to cool completely, then peel off the skins.

      Slice the beets thinly, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter or a small knife, cut each slice into a heart.

      To prepare the filling, grind the almonds and pistachios together until semi-coarse. Stir in the honey, then fold the mixture into the goat cheese until smooth and well combined.

      Spoon or pipe a small amount of the filling onto each beet heart. Serve as open-faced bites.

      Heartbeets can be served immediately at room temperature for a softer texture, or chilled for 15 minutes before serving for a firmer bite.

      Optional Garnishes
      Fresh thyme or basil
      A drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze
      Toasted nuts for added crunch
