Basil Marinated Cheese Curds - fresh cheese curds

Method

• In a large bowl or two quart sized Mason jars with lids, pour in the cheese curds.
• Pour olive oil over cheese curds.
• Using a spoon, toss curds and oil so they are evenly coated.
• If using Mason jars, seal jars and gently shake jars to distribute oil.
• On a cutting board, mince the fresh basil or other herb of your choosing.
• Add the minced herbs into the bowl or jars of cheese and olive oil, tossing again to evenly distribute herbs.
• Seal bowl with plastic wrap or seal the jar lids.
• Place in the refrigerator overnight, tossing curds every couple of hours to make sure that all curds have marinated for equal amounts of time in the oil.
• Serve as an appetizer with fresh cherry tomatoes or other seasonal vegetables.
