    Herbed Goat Cheese - Andrea Meyers

    Delicious food does not have to be difficult to prepare or require hours slaving away in the kitchen. Some of my favorite foods are simple with just a few good ingredients that shine together. The classic goat cheese rolled in herbs is one of those simple appetizers that is hard to resist with sliced baguette and seasonal roasted tomatoes. You can make the full recipe to serve four or more or halve the recipe to make a delicious appetizer for two.

    I just walk out to the herb garden and snip off whatever is in season to make this, and this time I had fresh parsley, chives, and lemon thyme to chop and coat the soft tangy cheese. Fresh cilantro, basil, lemon basil, and marjoram are also good choices. Rolling the cheese in some good olive oil helps the herbs to stick.

    Grow Your Own logo This simple appetizer is my contribution to Grow Your Own, the blogging event that celebrates the dishes we create from foods we've grown, raised, foraged, or hunted ourselves. I am the host for this round, and you can send your posts to me. Posts are due July 15. If you are new to the event, you can read more about the rules for participating at the Grow Your Own page. I hope you will join us!

      You're right. The simplest things in life are often the best. Thanks for this reminder. This looks just lovely. And the baguette would be homemade, right?! 🙂

      My feta is almost ready, and I have the herbs, so your idea is going to be happening around here. Thanks
