Ingredients

  • 4 TBSP olive oil
  • ¼ cup diced green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup diced orange bell pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic minced fine
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary chopped fine
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp fennel seeds crushed
  • ¼ tsp coriander seeds crushed
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 8 oz fresh chevre/goat cheese such as Ile De France cut into 8 slices
  • 3 TBSP toasted pine nuts
  • Toasted baguette for serving

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Lightly grease an overproof baking dish.
  • Slice the goat cheese into 1/2u0022 thick discs. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 TBSP of olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Sauté the chopped bell peppers and garlic until just tender- about 5-7 minutes. Add remaining olive oil ( 3 TBSP) spices and herbs- rosemary, coordinated, fennel, ground black pepper and thyme.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in salt and balsamic vinegar.
  • Arrange the goat cheese in the baking dish so that the slices are just touching.
  • Top the cheese with the pepper mixture. You can make this ahead and chill up to 4 hours.
  • Sprinkle with pine nuts.
  • Bake until just warmed through- about 10 minutes.
  • Serve with toasted baguette or savory crackers.
