Goat cheese: grab the goat cheese out of the fridge and gently remove and discard the packaging. Then place the log into the centre of a serving plate.
Pepper jelly: use a teaspoon to dollop the pepper jelly over the top of the goat cheese to cover the surface.
Crackers: spread crackers around the sides of the goat cheese log slightly away from the base of the cheese.
Thyme: pull the leaves from the sprigs of the thyme and sprinkle these leaves over the top.
To serve: provide a cheese knife to serve.

Note 1 - Goat cheese: look for an actual rolled log. Not a packet that is log shape but by the time you get the cheese out of the packaging it is all squashed. The rolled type of goat cheese will have packaging that retains the round shape of the log.
Note 2 - Pepper jelly: in some countries this is known as 'chilli jam'. It is sweet, spicy and the perfect condiment for many recipes. It will be found in the aisle where the fig relishes, vinegars and mint jellies are. You can use your favorite type of pepper jelly be it red, apricot or jalapeno pepper jelly.
Note 3 - Crackers: you can use your favorite type of crackers. I find that thick ones work best as they don't break off. If however, you are providing a cheese knife the goat cheese gets spread more so than dipped into so if you only have thin crackers they will do the job too!
