Just before Christmas, years ago,I received this recipe with rave reviews from friends, Ann & Diane. I've made it several times, when entertaining and I agree; it's delicious, easy to prepare and always a hit. It's decadent (isn't goat cheese always?) and very colourful. I think it's a delight to serve anytime...some of my favourite flavours in ONE dish! Herbs + Marinated Chèvre!!

Instructions

Ensure that the goat cheese is 'at room temperature'.

-
Combine remaining ingredients.
-
Pour the mixture over the goat cheese.

** If time permits, combine all but the goat cheese and allow to 'marry' in the fridge overnight.

Allow both this mixture and the cheese to come to room temperature and put it together in minutes.

I don't see how this could not be delicious...will be making it during this Christmas season. I bet in a pinch, it would even be good over cream cheese!
