Goats cheese has been showing up on salad menus and snack boards for a long time now, even in the quick dinner ideas people share online. It adds a bit of gravitas to what may otherwise be a bland side heavily reliant on dressings.
This recipe keeps it simple. Warm chèvre, a little olive oil, then honey over the top. It’s sweet and tangy. Which is the hook.
I’ve served plenty of cheese starters over the years, and this one still feels a little fancy without needing a whole production line to get it right. The trick is to have good bread on hand.
