We’re in that in-between weather stage, where one day it’s nice enough to sit on the stoop with a glass of chilled wine, and the next day what’s nice is to sit on the couch with a hot bowl of soup. This Goat Cheese Black Pepper Quick Bread is one you can take to either place– a bread for all seasons. This olive oil-based loaf comes together quickly by hand and is flavored with lemon, fresh mint (although I rarely have that in my herb stash, so I used dried parsley and dill instead) and, of course, goat cheese. Just like you can successfully swap out the mint to your herb of choice, I also think hunks feta or even cream cheese would work nicely here if goat cheese isn’t your thing. The bread has great muffin-like texture, with pockets of creamy cheese and a nice bronzed crust. I added a few extra bloops of cheese to decorate the top of the loaf with, along with a bit more cracked black pepper and some flaky salt.

Oh, I like the idea of trying out different cheeses with this bread…and adding extra on top like you did…I made notes in my book giving you full credit for these ideas. Love the idea of you sitting on the stoop with a glass of wine or on the couch with hot soup…makes the narrative so fun to read and imagine, all of us doing our things in our own places and then meeting up a couple times a month to share what we’ve been doing. Beautiful photo, as always.This was a fun and delicious recipe.

This definitely benefits from the extra bloops on top!

The extra bloops of cheese to decorate the top of the loaf with more cracked black pepper and flaky salt is an excellent excellent idea. The dark brown crust makes me wanting to reach out and get a piece of the good stuff.

Your bread came out beautiful. I also put blobs of cheese on top. My husband wanted some wine with this one.
