Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 teaspoon allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
3 garlic cloves, smashed
2 (3-inch) strips orange zest
2 fresh bay leaves
1 star anise pod
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Gently break goat cheese into large pieces; arrange in a serving bowl. Let sit at room temperature while you infuse oil.

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Arrange bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown around the edges, 5-8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle marinated goat cheese with flaky salt and serve with toast.
  • Do Ahead
