List of Ingredients
1 pound goat cheese, unflavored, the firmer the better
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
20 whole black peppercorns, slightly crushed
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups extra virgin olive oil, or more to cover cheese
Recipe
Choose a clean 1-quart jar or container in which you can layer cheese and cover with oil.
Cut cheese into disks about ½-inch thick. You may have to cut disks in half is cheese comes as a wide log. Rinse your knife in hot water once or twice to help make clean slices and prevent crumbling.
Layer the cheese slices in the container and add bay leaves, red pepper flakes, peppercorns, rosemary and thyme. Cover completely with olive oil. Cover jar tightly and place in refrigerator until ready to serve, at least 1 week.
Remove cheese from refrigerator 3 to 4 hours before serving so it comes to room temperature. Remove pieces from oil and place on a serving dish with an edge. (Some oil will pool in bottom of dish.) Accompany with slices of French bread arranged on a plate or in a basket.
