Instructions

First, finely dice the shallot.
Then, in an immersion blender cup, add basil, shallot, peeled garlic cloves, pine nuts, seasoning, salt, and olive oil together. Use the immersion blender to blend for 2-3 minutes until a pesto-like texture is created. Be patient as the blender works through the basil, nuts, and onion.
Once blended, add the crumble the goat cheese and parmesan cheese into the cup.
Blend again for 30-60 until cheese is well incorporated.
Serve with crackers, on pasta, on grilled meats or veggies, with bread. Whatever you choose, it'll be delicious!

Notes

This pesto can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It’s also great to freeze for up to 3 months. I like to double batch this Goat Cheese Pesto Recipe and freeze half whenever I’m making it (dirty blender once, reap the benefits twice;))
