Honeyed Dragon Terrine on Crusty Bread
- 1/2 cups Pecans, Roughly Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Chevre-style Goat Cheese
- 1 pinch Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Country Mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Pale Ale
- 8 slices Good, Crusty Bread
- Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, just until their scent becomes apparent.
- Then remove from heat and let them cool in a bowl.
- Then add the honey and mix thoroughly.
- Let them sit at room temperature while you make the cheese component.
- Add the grated cheddar to a small saucepan on low heat, followed by the chevre and pepper.
- Add the mustard and mix to combine the mixture as much as possible before adding the beer.
- After adding the beer (ale), stir and break up the goat cheese until smooth.
- Pour half of the cheese mixture into the bottom of a small, ungreased cocotte or baking dish (about 4 inches in diameter) and add one layer (about half) of the pecans.
- Top it off with the rest of the cheese and cover with plastic wrap.
- Place it in the refrigerator for a few hours until set and creamy, but firm.
- As for the rest of the pecans, I just make extra because I like to snack on them.
- You could easily use the other half for another batch of this terrine, but I make some extra sweet little gems for enjoying later in the week.
- Toast the bread just until crunchy and golden.
- Spread the still warm bread with a slice of the cool terrine.
- Enjoy!
