I had intended to make this with goat cheese, but used that in something else. So I made it using little fresh mozarella balls. So very, very good. We've been using them thrown in salads and also on open-faced sandwiches zapped for a few seconds in the microwave. Also, I threw in a second batch of cheese into the oil, making use of the flavor that has already developed.

Ok, now if you like goats cheese you're going to love this one! I had to sub dried herbs but still the flavours were spot on, will use fresh next time though. When you've eaten all the cheese dont waste the remaining oil either....we soaked ours up with fresh turkish bread YUM!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
