easy goat cheese appetizer

a patti bass favorite and easy recipe for a quick appetizer! 


goat cheese roll requires only three ingredients....goat cheese, toasted pecans, and fresh thyme. grind the pecans up very small and toast until golden. add fresh thyme (leaves only) and then roll the goat cheese either in small balls or in the log form that it comes in in the pecans and thyme.


pair this appetizer with some fresh salami or other meats. add pickled okra or small baby dills to create a great looking start to your next hostess moment!
