Discover my go-to budget recipe: crispy goat cheese bricks, a simple vegetarian dish ideal for summer lunches. As a home cook who loves quick, affordable meals, I've perfected this adaptation that's ready in minutes.
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 4 brick sheets
- 200g baby spinach
- 1 log of fresh goat's cheese
- Thyme
- 15g honey
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
To streamline prep, I preheat my oven to 200°C right away. Cut the brick sheets in half and lightly brush with olive oil using a brush for even, minimal coverage.
Slice the goat cheese into 1cm thick pieces, place one on each sheet half. Drizzle with a touch of honey, season with salt and pepper, add a dozen baby spinach leaves (they'll wilt beautifully during baking), and sprinkle thyme.
Fold into envelopes or triangles—simple and foolproof.
Bake for 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
Pro tip from the kitchen: Swap honey for sun-dried tomato jam and add Bayonne ham for variety.
Serve atop a mixed green salad for a fresh, impressive meal to share with friends.
This recipe is a winner—delicious, done in 10 minutes, and incredibly economical at under €2 per person for a stellar goat cheese salad.
Perfect for warm spring days craving light, flavorful eats.
