Honey toasted chèvre with tapenade

The perfect bite! I remember the first time I had hot chevre.It was a few years back in Paris. I can’t remember if it had honey on it or if that is something I added later. Now I can not eat hot chevre without a drizzle of honey, its like they where made for each other. The perfect Marriage. This is in my head the perfect appetizer. Sour cheese, sweet honey and the salty tapenade. It’s the perfect bite!


Serves 4

1 cup pitiless black olives
1 garlic close, chopped
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
