Goat Cheese with Lemon and Rosemary

We were on a picnic in wine country and a friend brought this goat cheese with some crackers for our lunch.  The recipe sounds so simple, but man is it good.  We couldn't get enough of it, and we were glad when we got have it a few days in a row.  As soon as I got home I knew I had to make it. 

Ingredients: 
1 log of goat cheese 
Olive Oil 
1 lemon
1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
Grey salt or other large grain salt like Maldon
Pepper 

Make sure the log of goat cheese is well chilled so it is firm.  Cut into 1/2 inch rounds.  Lay out flat, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with lemon zest, sprinkle with rosemary, then grey salt, then freshly ground pepper. 

I have some lemon olive oil that is excellent on this.  With the lemon olive oil and the lemon zest it is superb! 

This can be stored in an air tight container in the refrig for a week. 

You can use this to put on bread or crackers, or use it on top of a salad, which is one of my favorite ways to eat it.  Plus your guests will be impressed and love it.
