Step 1
Prepare mise en place: Gather and measure all ingredients before starting.

Step 2
Blend the cheese base: Place the goat cheese, horseradish juice, and lemon zest in a blender.

Step 3
Prepare the agar mixture: In a medium pot, add the heavy cream and agar agar. Using an immersion blender, blend until the agar is fully dispersed. (Note: The cream must be cold or at room temperature for proper dispersion.)

Step 4
Cook the agar mixture: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes to activate the agar.

Step 5
Combine and blend: Carefully pour the hot cream mixture into the blender with the goat cheese mixture. Blend immediately for about 1 minute, or until smooth and fully emulsified.

Step 6
Strain and set: Strain the hot mixture through a fine-mesh sieve onto a half tray, spreading evenly.

Step 7
Cool and portion: Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature. Once set, square off the edges and cut into ¼-inch thick slices.

Step 8
Shape and serve: Cut into 4½ × 1-inch pieces (yielding approximately 27 pieces). Plate as desired and serve chilled or at room temperature.
