Herby Goat Cheese
serves 6 to 8

Herby Goat CheeseINGREDIENTS

  • 9 ounces fresh goat cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, chervil, chives, mint, basil, purple basil
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 multigrain baguette, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

PROCEDURE

Spray a ramekin with nonstick spray, and line it with plastic wrap.  Smooth the goat cheese into the ramekin, pressing down to form it to the shape of the little bowl.  Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1 hour.

Mix the herbs, garlic, salt and pepper.  Unmold the cheese, and press the herb mixture so it sticks on all sides of the cheese.  Set the herbed cheese on a plate, and scatter the multigrain baguette slices all around.  Allow to come to room temperature for 15 minutes, and serve.
