We always have a log of goat cheese and some olives in our refrigerator. With these two staples, we can make a meal or an appetizer. One of our favorite ways to serve this combo was inspired by a menu item we had at the Top of the Hub many years ago.
Making it could not be simpler!
- Cut the goat cheese into large pieces, rounds, halves, wedges, or whatever shape suits your fancy.
- Arrange in the center of a bowl
- Surround it with olives
- Drizzle with a good extra virgin olive oil
- Splash with a few drips of balsamic vinegar
- Sprinkle with dried or fresh herbs (Herbes de Provence were used in the photo above)
- Serve with crackers, French bread, or our favorite– Iggy's Francese grilled with olive oil and rubbed with garlic.
We sometimes add red pepper for color or use tapenade in place to the olives. But you can let your imagination run, on this one. What would you enjoy surrounding some fresh, creamy goat cheese?
