I love goat cheese but add herbs? Beyond easy to make, perfect to pack up and take for a picnic, or serve up as an appetizer with a pile of crostini. Done and done.

Ingredients
- 2 large logs goat cheese
- fresh parsley chopped
- fresh dill chopped
- fresh chives finely chopped
- fresh basil chopped
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Toasted Crostini
Instructions
- Cut the logs of goat cheese into 8 pieces each. Roll them into balls and place into a medium baking dish. Sprinkle the fresh herbs and red pepper flakes on top of the cheese and add the olive oil until it covers about ½ of the goat cheese.
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Rotate the cheese balls before serving so they are fully coated with the olive oil herb mixture.
- Serve with crostini, pita, crudite etc.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Mix up your herbs. A spicy version with red pepper flakes would be amazing.
