GOAT CHEESE WITH MARINATED ROASTED PEPPERS

GOAT CHEESE SPREAD IN ROASTED PEPPER CUPS
I had a similar dish in a restaurant in Seattle, and when I returned home I just had to try my hand at making it. This is the fantastic result. I've taken it to work for parties and my boss once commented, "It's so good, it must be illegal."-Jenny Rodriquez, Pasco, Washington

ROASTED PEPPER AND GOAT CHEESE SANDWICH
Travel sandwiches require good keeping properties. The ingredients have to hold up for hours at room temperature and can't be too moist, or the bread will become soggy and fall apart. In deference to fellow travelers, I choose fillings that taste great but aren't pungent. (Garlic aioli has a place in my life, but it's not within the confines of an airplane.)

Steps:
- If using whole wheat bread, lightly toast it. This will prevent sandwich from becoming soggy. If using a roll with a hard crust, there is no need to toast.
- In a bowl, mash goat cheese with a fork or spoon and stir in chopped herbs.
- Spread equal amounts of goat cheese on each slice of bread or on both halves of roll. Top the bottom half with roasted pepper and cover with other slice of bread or half of roll. Cut in half if using bread, or into quarters if using a ciabatta roll. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic if transporting. The sandwich keeps well for 2 days.

HERBED GOAT CHEESE AND ROASTED PEPPER TOASTS
A more-than-one-bite hors d'oeuvre, these savory toasts make a satisfying snack to serve with drinks or to take on a picnic. They taste best at room temperature or just barely warm. Roasting the peppers can done a day ahead, as can marinating the goat cheese, making this treat very easy to put together.

Steps:
- Roast the pepper: Place the bell pepper directly over the open flame of a gas burner, under the broiler or on a hot, glowing charcoal grill. Let the skin of the pepper blacken and blister, using tongs to turn the pepper frequently. When completely blackened, after 5 to 8 minutes, transfer to a plate to cool.
- Using a paring knife, cut pepper in half lengthwise. Cut away seeds and stem and discard. Scrape away the skin and discard. Do not rinse. It's OK if a few bits of charred skin remain.
- Cut pepper halves into long strips about 1-inch wide. Season lightly with salt. (The pepper can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead of serving.)
- Marinate the goat cheese: Slice the goat cheese log into 10 pieces (each about 3/4-inch thick). Place pieces in a single layer on a plate and pour 1/4 cup oil over.
- Strip leaves from a few thyme sprigs and a rosemary sprig, roughly chop and sprinkle over the cheese. Finish with a bit of freshly ground black pepper, and a small pinch of red-pepper flakes. Cover and set aside. (This can also be done up to 24 hours ahead.)
- Set oven to 350 degrees. Cut the baguette on a diagonal into 10 slices, each about 1/4-inch thick. (If using ciabatta, cut into similar-size pieces.) Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer, then place in oven for about 5 minutes, until bread is barely toasted.
- Remove from oven and carefully give each toast a light swipe with the garlic clove. Lay a strip of roasted pepper across each toast to cover. Place a goat cheese round in the center of each toast. Spoon the remaining olive oil from the plate generously over each piece of cheese and any exposed toast.
- To finish, return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the bread is nicely browned and the cheese has gotten a bit of color, 8 to 10 minutes. Let toasts cool a bit, then arrange on a platter and serve. (They taste best at room temperature or just barely warm.) Toasts can be baked up to 1 hour ahead and popped in the oven to reheat slightly.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: For this recipe, it's best to use bell peppers that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast them until they are slightly charred and tender.
- Let the peppers cool completely: Before filling the peppers with the goat cheese spread, let them cool completely. This will help prevent the spread from melting.
- Use high-quality goat cheese: The quality of the goat cheese will make a big difference in the final flavor of the spread. Look for a goat cheese that is fresh and has a creamy texture.
- Season the spread to taste: The spread can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
- Serve the spread immediately: The spread is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
