Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 120 grams Fresh goat cheese (chevre)
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Slice the goat cheese into small, bite-sized pieces or form it into small balls (approximately 10 grams each).
Stack the basil leaves and roll them tightly, then thinly slice into ribbons (a chiffonade).
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with the minced garlic, a pinch of the freshly cracked black pepper, and salt until evenly combined.
Using a spoon or clean fingers, gently stuff each sun-dried tomato with the goat cheese mixture.
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a serving dish and drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Sprinkle the basil ribbons over the top for a burst of freshness and a pop of color.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack. These can also be paired with crusty bread or crackers.
