Marinated Goat Cheese Appetizer Recipe

momstown Oakville mom's night out events are great for so many reasons, but one of the reasons at the top of my list are the number of great recipes I get to try due to the fabulous hosting skills of so many mamas in our community!  My latest new favourite came from our recent poker night and seems to me like a perfect fit for the upcoming holiday season.

What You Need:

6 oz goat cheese
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp thyme  (if you don't have thyme you can use oregano or basil or another similar spice)
1 tsp pepper
10 pitted and chopped olives

Putting It Together:

Mix all ingredients together, except for the cheese.  Shaking them all together in a jar works well.  Pour mixture over cheese and marinate for at least two hours in the fridge.  You can leave this to marinade up to 2 days, the longer it marinades the better the flavours are.

Warm to room temp 1/2 hour before serving.  Will keep up to 1 week and the flavours just keep getting better and better!

Serve with your favourite crackers or spread onto baguette slices.
