I serve this topping family-style in a little gratin dish, and let guests spread the warm cheese on the bread themselves.Yields about 1 cup.
ingredients
1/2 lb. fresh goat cheese
2-1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 or 2 leafy sprigs thyme for garnish
1 recipe
Basic Bruschetta for serving
how to make
Heat the oven to 350°F. Stir the goat cheese, chopped thyme, and olive oil together in a small bowl until blended. Spread the cheese mixture in a ceramic crock or small gratin dish—no need to get it perfectly even. Drizzle the cheese with a bit more olive oil and top with a few grinds of black pepper. Lay the thyme sprigs on top. Bake the cheese until it's warm and creamy, about 10 minutes.
