Marinated Goat Cheese

Adapted from Ina Garten’s Marinated Goat Cheese recipe. You can never go wrong with one of her recipes! Incredibly quick to make and served with fresh made crostini, this will be an instant favorite. I love to have leftovers and use it in scrambled eggs for a decadent morning treat. Additionally, this is great on any sandwich, panini or pizza. Most recently, I have loved using this in my Heirloom Tomato Tart recipe. Great combination of quick, easy and a show stopper.

INGREDIENTS
6-8 oz. goat cheese, sliced into rounds
extra virgin olive oil
crushed red pepper
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
fresh basil, julienned
fresh dill, chopped

In a glass container, drizzle a little olive oil in the bottom. Add one or two slices of goat cheese, sprinkle with a little of the salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, basil and dill. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and repeat the layers with the remaining goat cheese, seasonings and oil. Finish with the seasonings and herbs on top. Cover and let marinate about an hour or overnight. Serve at room temperature with crackers or crostini.
