Goat Cheese Pairings

[Vision]

I'm interested in doing something creative with goat cheese. What flavors do you think pairs well? I find something strong flavored and possibly acidic can be great such as red onion, black pepper, vinegar, garlic, stronger herbs...

It's delightful drizzled with honey. I also like to serve a local chevre with local Riesling.

Mmmmmm, goat cheese. I love to serve goat cheese with grilled then braised leeks, roasted beets, a little bacon, candied almond slices and some balsamic vinegar. Not very original or creative, but it is my favorite goat cheese combo. I also made a terrine with roasted eggplant, tomato confit, basil and goat cheese that was quite delicious. I think that slightly sweet and acidic items (like roasted beets, balsamic, tomato confit) pair wonderfully with goat cheese and balance its natural earthy richness.
