Ingredients
- 200 grams soft goat cheese (chèvre)
- 3 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the freshly cracked black pepper on a clean plate or flat working surface.
Step 2
Drizzle the olive oil over the surface of the goat cheese to create a very thin coating. This will help the pepper adhere.
Step 3
Roll the goat cheese log or ball in the cracked black pepper, pressing gently to ensure an even coating all around.
Step 4
If desired, garnish the goat cheese with fresh thyme sprigs for a pop of flavor and presentation.
Step 5
Refrigerate the goat cheese for at least 15 minutes to help the pepper adhere more firmly before serving.
Step 6
Serve the peppered goat cheese with crackers, slices of crusty bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
