I had baked goat’s cheese years ago in a tapas restaurant, probably in San Francisco, and have loved it ever since. It’s easy to prepare and is delicious spread on crusty bread. It is best bubbly hot out of the oven (be careful!) but is also good room temp. The better quality of cheese you buy, the better the experience.
4 oz. good quality goat's cheese
1/4 cup homemade or store bought pesto
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place goat's cheese on oven proof dish and pour pesto over cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes or until browning and bubbly.
Depending on the pesto you use, you may have to carefully pour off some of the excess olive oil that bakes out during cooking. Before serving, stir any remaining oil back in to the pesto sauce.
