Herb & Goat Cheese Paté
One of the benefits of having a perennial herb garden is that you can make this little treat on the fly for guests. All you need is goat cheese, a handful of herbs, and salt & pepper.
The simple ingredients
The Basic Recipe
Spread 1/2 of your goat cheese into a loose circle shape and sprinkle with salt & pepper on top (see above). Then chop up your herbs. I like to use thyme, lemon thyme, oregano, and a touch of sage. (Both oregano and sage are pretty intense, so I use less of them than the thyme.) Spread the herbs over the goat cheese. Next, crumble the rest of your goat cheese on top and press it down lightly. Your herbs should be sandwiched in between the 2 layers of cheese. Finally, sprinkle a few more herbs on top and finish it off with a touch of pepper or smoked paprika (if you have some).

This contributes to the rich, creamy, mild flavour and the exceptional keeping quality of this cheese. Garden
