Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons herbes de Provence
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) goat cheese, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten, at room temperature
Directions
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, herbes de Provence, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and goat cheese together until smooth. Beat in the sugar and eggs. In batches, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. With damp hands, form the dough into a 13-inch-long, 3 1/2-inch-wide loaf. Bake until light golden, about 30 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
Transfer the loaf to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the log on the diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake until pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.

My first time reviewing on Food Network. I was frustrated by all the reviews that indicated that this recipe was crumbly or that it was difficult to make. This recipe rocks, just needs a little tweaking. I cut the butter down to 2 oz. and replaced the other two with EVOO. Then I added 1/3 cup of minced sun dried tomatoes packed in oil and 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts. I cut back on the herbes de Provence to 2 Tbls. and added 2 tsp. each of fresh thyme and rosemary. This is a very delicate dough until it's baked twice. This will go into my "favorites" file!

I could only give this recipe 4 stars because it fell apart when I attempted to slice it. The taste is great and it sure smells good while baking. Next time I'll follow another reviewers suggestion of adding a tablespoon of water to the dough.

I had been asked to bring a savory appetizer to a meeting and this was a huge hit! I had to hide them from my husband who would have eaten the entire batch before I realized it!
