MARINATED CHèVRE CHEESE | GOAT CHEESE APPETIZER

Steps:

• Allow your log of goat cheese to rest on the serving platter.
• Slice the cheese halfway through, every inch or so along the distance of the log. This allows the marinade to immerse into the goat cheese!
• Next, you'll begin by finely chopping the fresh thyme and basil.
• In a small bowl, combine herbs, salt and pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes and olive oil.
• If you'd like to add pine nuts, you're welcome to do so! Simply chop them finely or run them through your food processor for an added touch of texture.
• Just before serving, pour olive oil mixture directly over your chevre cheese.
