What You'll Need:

• 12 ounces goat cheese
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and diced
• 1 cup black olives, chopped
• 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 3 cloves garlic, halved

Step by Step:

Slice goat cheese into one-inch pieces and place in a single layer on a large platter.

Sprinkle olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, basil and rosemary over the cheese.

Using toothpicks, insert the garlic cloves into the cheese throughout the mixture.

Allow the mixture to marinate 6 hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator.

Remove the toothpicks, and serve with sliced French bread.
