Seasoned Olives with Goat Cheese

Marinated Olives with Goat Cheese

There are many different kinds of olives on the market. Salty Kalamata and Green olives are excellent for this appetizer dish since they pair very well with goat cheese. However, to preserve the full flavor of the recipe, we chose unpitted olives. Also, pits give olives their firm texture. Therefore, this delicious recipe has many flavors without requiring much preparation time.

Ingredients Marinated Olives & Goat Cheese

Preparation

  1. Put olives on top of the goat cheese cuts ( see the picture of this recipe), set them aside.
  2. Add olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, and herbs to a frying pan on low heat and sauté for 1-2  minutes.
  3. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the olives and goat cheese. Season the olives with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.     
  • Select Quality Ingredients:  Look for high-quality, artisanal olives in various colors and sizes for visual appeal and varied flavors. 
  • Choose fresh goat cheese for its creamy texture and tangy taste.
  • Temperature: Just before serving, it is essential to allow the olives and goat cheese to come to room temperature. This step is helpful, as it ensures the olives are flavorful and the goat cheese is soft and spreadable, enhancing your appetizer’s overall taste and texture.

What to serve on the Side? Sliced Baguette, Rye Bread, or Crackers go well with this appetizer.
