Notes
- ½ Tsp.
- You can use a goat cheese log or cream cheese log. If it's not shaped in a log, you can do that at home too by shaping it into a log by rolling it between a cling film. Just make sure the cheese isn't too sticky. It's easier to do that with goat cheese than cream cheese.
- You can choose to use a combination of peppers, but it should be at least 2 of the peppers together. I.e Black pepper and crushed chili pepper, black pepper and white pepper, etc. The total should be 3 ½ Tsp.
