Baked Goat Cheese Appetizer with Marinara
We had this Baked Goat Cheese appetizer at one of our favorite restaurants and I had to recreate it for us at home!
This Baked Goat Cheese Appetizer with Marinara is just like the restaurant recipe – and it is really quick and easy to make. I like to serve this with my French Bread Crostini. The crostini can be made a day ahead and then wrapped in aluminum foil and reheated in the oven when you are ready to serve this. The Goat Cheese Marinara can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until you pop it under the broiler.
