Ingredients for Herb and Oil Goat Cheese

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 3 sprigs fresh tarragon
  • 3 tsp red crushed pepper
  • 1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 4 slices (2 oz each) goat cheese

How to Make Herb and Oil Goat Cheese

  1. Prepare the Herb Infused Oil: In a jar, combine the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, fresh thyme, fresh tarragon, red crushed pepper, and fresh ground pepper. Stir until well mixed.

  2. Add Goat Cheese: Place the 4 slices of goat cheese into the jar, making sure they are fully coated with the herb-infused oil.

  3. Add Extra Olive Oil (if needed): If the cheese slices aren’t fully submerged, add a little more olive oil to ensure the cheese is completely covered.

  4. Marinate the Cheese: Seal the jar and refrigerate. Allow the cheese to marinate for 4 to 10 days so the flavors can infuse the cheese.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: When ready, remove the goat cheese from the oil and serve as an appetizer or use it as a topping for salads, pasta, or bread.


Tips for Best Results

  • Flavor Infusion: The longer you marinate the goat cheese, the more intense the flavors will be. For a stronger infusion, let it sit closer to the 10-day mark.
  • Storage: You can store the marinated cheese in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serving Ideas: Serve the marinated goat cheese with crackers, fresh bread, or as a topping for grilled vegetables or salads.
