These are especially nice to have on hand for adding to salads and quick toasted open-faced sandwiches. Place a round on a piece of bread, pop it in a toaster oven and toast 3 to 4 minutes.

Time 15m

Yield 4 or 5 rounds of marinated goat cheese

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon mixed red, black and white peppercorns, lightly crushed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 bay leaves, broken into pieces
About 3 ounces goat cheese (in a log)
2 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
Extra virgin olive oil as needed

Steps:

  • Place the peppercorns, garlic cloves and bay leaves in a clean, sterilized wide-mouthed jar. Pour in a film of olive oil.
  • Cut the goat cheese into rounds 1/2 inch thick (I get neat rounds using unflavored dental floss to cut through the cheese). Place one round in the jar and drizzle on some olive oil. Stack the remaining rounds, drizzling oil onto each round before topping with the next. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs to the jar and pour in olive oil to cover the goat cheese rounds completely. Cover the jar and leave at room temperature for several hours, then refrigerate.
