Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the cheddar and goat cheese in a large container or plate that has a lip - something that allows you to cover it in the marinade. Alternate the pieces so the cheddar and goat aren’t all in on spot.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, green onions, garlic, basil, parsley and dill. Stir in the chopped red peppers.
  3. Pour the marinade over the cheese. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or even overnight. Serve with crackers or baguettes.
