Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz goat cheese log form
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Toasted baguette slices or crackers for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  2. Place the goat cheese in the center of the baking dish and slightly flatten it into a disk using a spoon or spatula.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the goat cheese. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if using.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and bubbly and the goat cheese is warm and creamy.
  5. Remove from oven and top with fresh basil. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices or your favorite crackers.

Notes

  1. Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  2. Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through. Avoid microwaving to preserve texture.
  3. Freezing: Not recommended, as goat cheese and tomatoes may change in texture.
Make Ahead: Assemble the dish and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
