Makes 6 oz herbed cheese.

Adapted from Earthbound Farms website.

Here’s a nice combination of flavors. I originally made this to stuff squash blossoms, but it would go well just spread on toast or crackers. I also like to place a marble sized ball of this cheese on a large leaf of basil and serve as an hors d’oeuvre.

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 shallots, peeled and minced

1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives

6 ounces plain goat cheese

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
