Goat Cheese With Pastis And Herbes De Provence
makes 4-6 servings
Recipe from cookthink
This is a great way to turn a log of goat cheese into an elegant hors d'oeuvre. Pastis adds an anise flavor that balances the richness of the cheese. If you don't have herbes de Provence on hand, just mix together one teaspoon each of fennel seeds, dried rosemary, bay leaf, lavender, basil, sage and thyme.
