Goat Cheese

Contributed by: Carlene Richards

Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
baguette of bread, sliced
8 oz goat cheese (I recommend 4 – I think 8-10 was too much)
1 to 11/2 cups marinara or pasta sauce
basil leaves (optional garnish)

Directions
Preheat conventional oven or toaster oven to 350°F.
Mix together the garlic and olive oil
Spread over bread slices and place on a baking sheet.
Pat the goat cheese into a 1/2-inch pancake and place in shallow baking dish.
Ladle tomato sauce into dish to come up to top edge of cheese (do not cover the cheese with sauce).
Bake, uncovered, until sauce begins to bubble at edges and cheese is hot, about 25 minutes.
During last 10 minutes of baking, toast bread until golden brown.
Garnish cheese with basil if using.
