Ingredients

• 200 grams Goat cheese log
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1.5 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 0 as needed Crackers or toasted baguette slices (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground ginger, garlic powder, lemon zest, toasted sesame seeds, cracked black pepper, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly to form the Pacific-flavor rub.

Step 2

Take the goat cheese log and gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

Place the spice mixture onto a large, clean plate. Roll the goat cheese log in the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Use your fingers to press the spices gently into the surface of the cheese for better adherence.

Step 4

Drizzle the coated goat cheese log lightly with olive oil to enhance flavor and give it a slight sheen.

Step 5

Transfer the rubbed goat cheese log onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color.

Step 6

Serve the goat cheese alongside an assortment of crackers or toasted baguette slices. Allow guests to spread the seasoned cheese on their chosen base for a delightful bite.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
