Steps:
- Place the peppercorns, garlic cloves and bay leaves in a clean, sterilized wide-mouthed jar. Pour in a film of olive oil.
- Cut the goat cheese into rounds 1/2 inch thick (I get neat rounds using unflavored dental floss to cut through the cheese). Place one round in the jar and drizzle on some olive oil. Stack the remaining rounds, drizzling oil onto each round before topping with the next. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs to the jar and pour in olive oil to cover the goat cheese rounds completely. Cover the jar and leave at room temperature for several hours, then refrigerate.

HERB AND LEMON GOAT CHEESE SPREAD
Yield Serves 8
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Place goat cheese in small bowl. Mix thyme, lemon peel and garlic in another small bowl; season with ground black pepper. Mix half of thyme mixture into goat cheese. Add olive oil to remaining half of thyme mixture. Form cheese into 2 1/2-inch round; flatten slightly. Place in center of plate. Spoon oil-thyme mixture over top of cheese. Surround cheese with baguette slices and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh goat cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can't find fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme, but use half the amount.
- To make the lemon oil, use a microplane zester to grate the lemon zest. Be sure to only grate the yellow part of the lemon, as the white pith is bitter.
- You can use any type of peppercorns you like. Black peppercorns are the most common, but you can also use white, green, or pink peppercorns.
- If you don't have a cheese mold, you can use a small bowl or ramekin.
- To serve, let the goat cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to soften slightly.

This goat cheese with thyme, peppercorns, and lemon oil is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for a party or potluck, or to enjoy on a lazy afternoon.
