Anne's Goat Cheese Gratin
- Equipment: Six shallow 6-inch (15 cm) round gratin dishes or one 10 1/2-inch (27 cm) round baking dish
- About 10 ounces (300 g) soft goat cheese or a mix of rindless soft goat and cow or sheeps milk cheese, cubed
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh hyssop leaves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves or a pinch of dried leaf oregano, crushed
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups (33 to 50 cl) homemade Tomato Sauce, at room temperature
- About 24 best-quality black olives (such as French Nyons), pitted
- 1.
- Preheat the broiler.
- 2.
- Scatter the cheese on the bottom of the baking dish or dishes.
- Sprinkle with half of the herbs.
- Spoon on just enough tomato sauce to evenly coat the cheese.
- Sprinkle with olives and the remaining herbs.
- 3.
- Place the baking dish or dishes under the broiler about 3 inches (8 cm) from the heat.
- Broil until the cheese is melted and fragrant, and the tomato sauce is sizzling, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Think of what you'd normally serve with pizza; a pleasant, vigorous red such as a young French Corbieres from the Roussilon, a dry Italian red such as a Barbera d'Alba, an Australian Shiraz, or a California Zinfandel.
