When I saw this recipe on TV, I was impressed with how simple and elegant this dish was. It was made as an accompaniment for salad, but I think it would make a great munchy to go with your drink. Top it with your favorite preserve and enjoy with a cup of tea. This would also make a great addition to your next party as an appetizer.

Savory Goat Cheese Cookies
4 oz. goat cheese log
1/2 cup flour
2 Tbsp room temp. butter
Sesame seeds
Salt and pepper
Thyme
Apricot preserve for garnish
Mix all the above ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Make a log wrapped by a plastic wrap. Refrigerate it at least for 1 hour. Slice it into 1/4 inch discs. Bake them at 320 degrees for 20 minutes. The baked sesame seeds add wonderful nuttiness. If you'd like, you can experiment with other nuts. I bet the macadamia nuts or almonds would go great! The fragrant apricot preserve on top balances the flavor well.

Best tasting apricot preserve |
This little jar of apricot preserve is my favorite. Our friend Laura introduced me to this. Ever since then, it has been the only apricot preserve I get. Very flowery and just the right amount of tartness.
