Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
  • 4 ounces plain chèvre
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and add the garlic. Stir until fragrant, being careful not to brown, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the herbs and warm them in the olive oil until fragrant, about two minutes, stirring occasionally so they don't burn. Set the oil aside to cool.
  • Place the chèvre on a small plate or platter. Drizzle the warm olive oil over the chèvre and place the herbs on the side as a garnish. Sprinkle with a little coarse salt.
