Ingredients
- 200 g Goat's cheese
- 4 tbsp Black cherry jam
- 1 tsp Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 12 pcs Crackers or toasted baguette slices
Directions
Step 1
1. Place the goat's cheese in a medium-sized bowl and use a fork to gently crush it into a rustic, crumbly texture. Do not over-mix; it should still be chunky.
Step 2
2. Sprinkle the freshly ground black pepper over the goat's cheese and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Toss gently to combine.
Step 3
3. Transfer the crushed goat's cheese to a serving platter or shallow dish, forming a slight mound.
Step 4
4. Spoon the black cherry jam evenly over the top of the cheese. Be generous, as the sweetness balances out the tanginess of the cheese.
Step 5
5. Scatter the fresh thyme leaves over the jam and cheese for added aroma and a touch of herbal flavor.
Step 6
6. Serve immediately with crackers or toasted baguette slices on the side for scooping. Optionally, garnish the platter with additional thyme sprigs or fresh cherries for presentation.
