Why this recipe works
Cheese in dishes, honey afterwards
Six small rounds make three starters without bread. Use soft goat cheese with edible rind, not spreadable cream cheese. Small heatproof dishes catch melted cheese.

1
Prepare
Slice cold log into six rounds about 2 cm thick. Oil three small dishes and place two rounds in each. Adjust piece size for a different log diameter. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.

Mix and season
Gently press pepper and finely cut thyme into cheese. Reserve honey. Do not place directly on open rack as they soften.

Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Warm about 8 minutes at 170 °C until centres are soft and hot. Do not wait for total collapse. Leave gaps around dishes and work in batches if needed.

Check and serve
Remove with gloves, drizzle honey thinly and serve in dishes, warning they are hot. This is a small starter, not a full dinner.
