150 g goat cheese

3 tbsp capers (or more)

½ kg grape tomatoes, cut in half

1 large clove of garlic, grated

2 tbsp olive oil

56 basil leaves

sea salt and black pepper, to taste

1 baguette or bakery type bread

Cut the tomatoes in half then heat the olive oil in a skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the tomatoes, grate in the garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook several minutes stirring occasionally. until the tomatoes start to burst and form a little sauce.

Next fold in the capers and cook another minute or so.

Place the goat cheese in the center of a shallow baking dish then pour the tomatoes and capers around it. Make sure you add all the juices from the skillet ~ the flavor is beyond words.

Add a light drizzle of olive oil over the top of the goat cheese then broil until the cheese is softened and lightly brown on top, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.

Chiffonade the basil, sprinkle it over the top and enjoy with slices of warm toasted baguette or bakery type bread.
