It really doesn't get much better, or easier than this. Five simple ingredients on a plate that come together to make more than the sum of their parts. It is a lovely little snack for one or can be scaled up in two shakes of a lamb's tail for company.

Pair with some bubbly and a friend for a simple and elegant happy hour.

goat cheese

extra virgin olive oil (I used Meyer lemon EVOO)

Castelvetrano olives

thyme

black pepper
