Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams soft goat cheese (chèvre)
- 3 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the freshly cracked black pepper on a clean plate or flat working surface.
Drizzle the olive oil over the surface of the goat cheese to create a very thin coating. This will help the pepper adhere.
Roll the goat cheese log or ball in the cracked black pepper, pressing gently to ensure an even coating all around.
If desired, garnish the goat cheese with fresh thyme sprigs for a pop of flavor and presentation.
Refrigerate the goat cheese for at least 15 minutes to help the pepper adhere more firmly before serving.
Serve the peppered goat cheese with crackers, slices of crusty bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
