For the Cheese Mixture
  • 8 ounces Goat Cheese softened for easy mixing
  • 1 medium Lemon Zest zest from one medium lemon
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme Leaves optional lemon thyme can be used
For Garnishing

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by lining a small bowl or ramekin with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap is smooth with no wrinkles.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, lemon zest, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix until thoroughly blended into a smooth, creamy texture.
  3. Gently spoon the goat cheese mixture into the lined bowl, pressing it down firmly to eliminate any air pockets.
  4. Cover the bowl with the excess plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or place it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes if pressed for time.
  5. Once chilled, carefully invert the bowl onto a serving plate. Gently peel away the plastic wrap, revealing the shaped goat cheese.
  6. Garnish with additional thyme leaves and edible flowers. Drizzle honey over the top for added sweetness.
  7. Slice assorted crackers and arrange them around the goat cheese on the serving plate.
