Apple Cider Cranberry Sauce and Whipped Goat Cheese Crostini

Step 1

Combine goat cheese and heavy cream in a stand mixer with the whipping attachment or a hand mixer.

Whip until the goat cheese is light and fluffy; set aside.

Step 3

In a sauce pot, combine cranberries, cider, sugar, orange zest, orange juice and cinnamon.
