Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces goat cheese cold
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons nonpareil capers
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped

Instructions

  • Use a sharp knife to cut goat cheese into 6 - 8 thin slices. Or use unflavored dental floss. Place sliced goat cheese on a small serving platter. Some overlapping is OK.
  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, capers, dill and chives. Pour over goat cheese.
  • Cover and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. If you're making this ahead of time (more than 30 minutes in advance) refrigerate it. Remove from the refrigerator 40 minutes before serving so it comes to room temperature.

Notes

Keep in mind that olive oil will coagulate when chilled but will liquify again once it's at room temperature.
