Italian-American · Appetizer · 30 min total

Creamy goat cheese baked in a rich marinara sauce until bubbly and golden, perfect for dipping crusty bread or serving as an appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (10-ounce) log goat cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish
• Crusty bread or crackers for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a small baking dish (about 8x8 inches).
4. Arrange goat cheese slices in a single layer over the sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over the cheese.
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until sauce is bubbly and cheese is soft and lightly golden.
