Want to get a little fancy on Super Bowl Sunday? The aroma and flavor of truffle oil make this simple dip simply irresistible. It can be made days ahead of time, too.

Truffled Goat Cheese Spread

1 (9-ounce) log goat cheese, at room temperature
2 to 3 teaspoons truffle oil, or to taste
4 radishes, trimmed and grated
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Place the cheese, oil, radishes and chives in a small mixing bowl and mash together with a fork to combine.

Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, let soften a bit before serving, if desired.

Variation: Use an 8-ounce package of cream cheese instead of the goat cheese.

Garnish with more scallions or radish slices, if desired.

Serve with cucumber rounds, slices of celery or triangles of thinly sliced pumpernickel.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
