Marinated Goat Cheese Recipe

The combination of fresh goat cheese, herbs, and olive oil is addicting. Add a crusty loaf of bread and make a meal out of it. Marinating fresh goat cheese is an easy way to make plain goat cheese incredibly flavorful. Packaged in a glass jar, marinated goat cheese makes a lovely gift. This recipe only shows one way to flavor goat cheese. The flavor possibilities are endless. Experiment with fresh herbs, dried herbs and spices, and other ingredients to find your very favorite combination. Seasoning ideas: fresh garlic, green onions, sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, black or red peppercorns, bay leaves, herbes de provence, fresh basil, fresh mint, dried dill, cumin seeds, lavender, walnut oil. Mop the flavored olive oil up with bread and it's unlikely that you'll have any leftover. But if you do, use the flavored oil to marinate more cheese or use the oil to saute vegetables or make salad dressing.
