Serves: 8
Ingredients
1 pound creamy goat cheese, softened
6 tablespoons apricot preserves
4 ounces (~ 115 g) roasted red peppers, finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced shallot
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons white wine
pinch of salt
crusty bread or pita chips, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread the goat cheese into 4-5 ramekins (depending on the size) in an even layer.
In a small bowl, whisk the preserves with the peppers, shallots, mustard, and wine.
Spread the mixture over the goat cheese and back on top rack of oven for about 5 minutes, until warm.
Turn on the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, until the topping is bubbling and lightly browned at the edges.
Serve hot, with pita chips or crusty bread.
Notes
The original recipe made this in one oven-proof dish. I elected to use ramekins for individual portions (if serving more as a meal or packing leftovers in a lunchbox the next day) and because of the cuteness factor. Cuteness counts in food.
