herbed goat cheese spread

While reading this article on home fries in the NYTimes I discovered Maître D’Hôtel Butter. It is butter infused with herbs, lemon and some sort of allium. As I read the article it became increasingly clear that the star of this show was the butter.


Then I read about the benefits of eating fresh thyme.


Armed with this information I set forth to make a goat cheese version of fancy butter with my fresh thyme. It turned out lovely. Do it. Your body will thank you.
