Pintxo de queso de cabra recipe — charred goat's cheese and dried tomato on toasted baguette with pistachios and a toothpick, Basque Country

This goat cheese pintxo recipe doesn’t require any cooking, and it will take you a couple of minutes to prepare. It’s a great oportunity to experience Basque flavour in your home and share it with your friends and family.

Almost every pintxo bar we went to had goat cheese on their menu. Some had it with jamon, others with onion marmalade, and all sorts of combinations. For this month’s recipe, we decided to make a very simple version that looks creative and is very fun to make.

It combines goat cheese with dried tomatoes and pistachios on top of a slice of baguette. All of these create a nice mix of colours and flavours that will impress your guests. For an extra flair, you can use a Kitchen torch and add some charring to the goat cheese and pistachios.
