This is one of the most amazing and easy cheese appetizers ever. It’s got that texture that people love about goat cheese. Basil and tomato have a proven track record of being incredibly delicious with creamy cheeses, and this is no exception.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 tablespoons basil chiffonade (thinly sliced fresh basil leaves), divided
- 1 (4 ounce) log of fresh goat cheese, halved
- 16 cherry tomatoes, cut in half on the diagonal
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Drizzle about 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil into the bottom of each 6-ounce ramekin and sprinkle about 1 tablespoon basil per ramekin over the oil. Place 1 goat cheese piece over the basil in each ramekin; surround with sliced cherry tomatoes. Top with cracked black pepper and cayenne. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining basil on top of each portion, place ramekins on a baking sheet, and drizzle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons more olive oil.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Cook’s Note:
To make thinly sliced basil (chiffonade), roll 3 or 4 basil leaves together into a tight cylinder and slice into thin ribbons.
