Balsamic Marinade For Goat Cheese Recipes

MARINATED GOAT CHEESE

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.

Cook the steaks to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet. Crumble the cheese over the steaks and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with pepper.
• Transfer the steaks to plates. Drizzle the balsamic sauce around the steaks and serve.

• Begin assembling your wraps by laying your FlatOut wrap down, spreading half of it with about 1 oz of goat cheese, topping that with about 1/2 cup arugula, 1/4 of your marinated mushrooms, and a hand full of sun dried tomatoes. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of balsamic reduction.
• Roll up your wrap, and slice it into bite sized pieces if you so choose. Then you can pack it for lunch or eat it right up!
