Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream, sour cream, yogurt, or milk, or as needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped mixed fresh mild herbs like basil, parsley, chervil, dill, and/or chives
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or thyme
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Instructions

1. Mash the goat cheese and thin it with enough of the cream to make it spreadable or usable as a dip. You may need more or less depending on the density of the cheese and the consistency you prefer.

2. Stir in the garlic and herbs. Taste and add salt if necessary (some goat cheese is quite salty) and pepper to taste. Drizzle with the oil and serve, or refrigerate for up to several hours, then add the oil and serve chilled.
