  • “yummy and bursting with flavor! So simple but the flavors are so incredible. Came out great even though I messed up and put the basil under the goat cheese! oops! Loved the creaminess of the melted goat cheese! I did add just a tiny pinch of sea salt on top bc I am a salt lover! Used fresh cracked pepper which was also divine with this. I just love it when simple recipes taste like a million bucks! Great recipe Derf! Thanks so much for sharing it! “
