Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Goat Cheese

    Take 0.25 lb of goat cheese and place it on a serving plate. Allow it to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This enhances the flavor and makes it easier to spread.

  2. 2

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs of your choice (thyme, rosemary, or basil work well) and sprinkle them evenly over the goat cheese.

  3. 3

    Season the Cheese

    Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the goat cheese, then sprinkle with 0.25 tsp of black pepper and 0.25 tsp of sea salt for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Finish with Honey

    Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the top of the goat cheese for a touch of sweetness that complements the tanginess of the cheese.
