Goat Cheese and Garlic Spread
This Provençal spread uses the best Mediterranean ingredients: goat's cheese, garlic, and EVOO. Savory and addicting!
Ingredients:
- 100 grams approximately of a creamy goat’s cheese
- 1 clove of garlic
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon The Olive Tap’s Premium White Balsamic Vinegar or Lambrusco Wine Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons or more of (your favorite) The Olive Tap’s 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions:
Crush or chop the garlic. Add the salt and pepper. Pour the vinegar and stir.
Let sit for 5 minutes, or overnight in the fridge, to allow the vinegar to ‘cook’ the garlic.
Incorporate the olive oil. Smash the goat cheese into the mixture and mix until it becomes even and spreadable. Add more EVOO if needed. Top with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve with toasted baguette.
