Prepare simple, flavorful cheese cubes marinated in olive oil, fresh herbs, and garlic for an excellent party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or Mozzarella), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the cheese cubes into a clean, non-reactive container, such as a glass jar or plastic container.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, sliced garlic, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir well.
  3. Pour the oil mixture over the cheese cubes, ensuring all pieces are submerged.
  4. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the cheese to absorb the flavors. For best results, marinate for 2 to 3 days.
  5. Before serving, stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
  6. Serve the marinated cheese cubes directly from the container or arrange them on a platter with toothpicks.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cheese blend with all fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini) drained well.
  • Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor in the marinade.
  • This appetizer tastes better when made ahead of time.
