Roasted Tomato and Goat Cheese Spread

My cousin Robin came up with this delicious spread for a girls night. With very few ingredients she created a super flavorful and extra delish spread that pairs great with crostini, flatbread or crudites.
Imagine this tossed on pasta or stuffed into chicken?! It's too easy not to make!

*To roast tomatoes heat the oven to 400F.  Slice Roma or Plum tomatoes in half lengthwise and spread on a  baking sheet lined with parchment.  Drizzle over some olive oil, a little salt and pepper and dried Basil and/or Oregano.  Roast for 35-45 minutes.  Once cooled, they freeze well.





Roasted Tomato and Goat Cheese Spread

10 roasted Tomato halves*
1 140g package of Goat Cheese
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
tsp good Extra Virgin Olive Oil
8 Basil leaves, sliced in ribbons

Squeeze the excess liquid from tomatoes and chop into smallish pieces.  Combine the tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients in a dish and mix to combine.
Can be made ahead and refrigerated.
