🧄 Goat Cheese with Herb & Spice-Infused Olive Oil
Ingredients:
-
4 oz goat cheese (log or crumbled) - I like to roll the goat cheese into round balls
-
1/2 cup mild olive oil
-
2–3 allspice berries
-
2–3 whole cloves
-
1 tsp coriander seeds
-
1–2 garlic cloves, smashed
-
2–3 strips orange zest (use a vegetable peeler)
-
1 star anise pod
-
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
-
In a small saucepan, gently warm the olive oil over low heat with all the spices, garlic, and orange zest. Don’t boil—just infuse (about 5–7 minutes).
-
Let the oil cool slightly.
-
Place goat cheese in a small bowl or jar and pour the infused oil (with the spices) over it.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
-
Bring to room temperature before serving.

✨ Tips for Serving & Customizing:
-
This looks elegant on a cheeseboard or appetizer tray—pair it with keto crackers, cucumber slices, or grilled eggplant rounds.
-
Drizzle the infused oil over roasted veggies, grilled chicken, or even a handful of toasted almonds.
-
Love heat? Add extra chili flakes or a sliver of fresh jalapeño. Prefer it earthy? Try thyme or rosemary sprigs.
This is one of those versatile, flavor-packed keto staples you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.
