Goat Cheese Cherry Appetizer
11 oz Log of Goat Cheese Cut into ¼” slices 3-4 Cloves of Garlic grated on microplane grater
1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme, minced
10 Pitted Black Olives, roughly chopped (or, use the same amount of fresh cherries)
¼ Cup Blossom’s Cherry Vinegar
½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garnish with Fresh Cherries
Place sliced cheese on glass plate, single layer if possible.
Mix rest of the ingredients in a bowl and pour over the cheese to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use (1-2 hours). Garnish the platter with fresh cherries. The cheese is very spreadable at room temperature.
Serve with sliced and toasted baguettes with a few little knives to spread the cheese on the bread.
Left over marinate makes a great salad dressing or drizzle over cooked vegetables.
