Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (227 grams) goat cheese in a log
  • 3/4-1 cup (180-240 milliliters) olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves only
  • 1 small sprig rosemary leaves only
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Roughly cut the goat cheese into 1 1/2 inch (4 centimeter) pieces or small slices.
  • In a large jar, add some of the olive oil and some of the crushed garlic, one bay leaf, thyme leaves, rosemary leaves, salt, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes.
  • Layer with a few pieces of the cut goat cheese.
  • Top with more olive oil, herbs, and spices, layering the goat cheese and other ingredients so they are evenly distributed in the jar.
  • Add enough olive oil to just cover the goat cheese, between 3/4-1 cup in total.
  • Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least a day to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Remove the jar from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes before serving to allow the olive oil to become liquid again.
