Baked Goat Cheese with Red Pepper Sauce 

Total time: 15 minutes
   The slightly pungent goat cheese goes well with the slightly spicy red pepper sauce.. 

 Ingredients:

• 3oz (90gr) aged goat cheese, with white rind  either a slice from large log or several from a small one
• 1 tbs dried breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 2/3 cup Red Pepper Sauce
• 1 tbs tomato paste
• 1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• Red Pepper Sauce: 
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/2 medium onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 chicken stock
• 1 tbs white balsamic vinegar
• 3 tbs Greek yogurt

 Instructions:

• Slice small cheese into 6 rounds.   Each round should be between 1/4 and 1/3" (.75 - 1cm) thick.
• Mix bread crumbs and basil together on a plate.
• Dip both sides of the cheese in the crumbs and place on a nonstick or lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Bake, 400F (200C) for 2 - 4 minutes, just until you see the tops sink slightly or cheese ooze slightly.  If it hasn't happened after 4 minutes, take them out anyway - they're ready.
• Gently heat Red Pepper sauce in a small saucepan.
• Stir in tomato paste, vinegar, basil and simmer a few minutes to blend flavors
• To serve: 
• Spoon the Red Pepper sauce onto 2 plates. Top with 3 slices of goat cheese and serve.
• Red Pepper Sauce: 
• Roughly chop pepper, onion and garlic. 
• Sauté pepper, onion, garlic and chili powder until vegetables are soft.
• Add chicken stock, vinegar, cover and simmer 5 minutes. 
• Purée in blender with as little of the stock as possible. 
• Pour sauce out of blender into a small bowl and stir in yogurt.
