Ingredients | Beet Goat Cheese Salad

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

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

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.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

To make thinly sliced basil (chiffonade), roll 3 or 4 basil leaves together into a tight cylinder and slice into thin ribbons.
