BAKED GOAT CHEESE & TOMATO CONFIT

Preheat oven to 400F. Use an oven-safe dish or cast iron skillet. Place the sliced goat cheese rounds and tomatoes in the dish. Drizzle everything with olive oil and honey (or agave), then sprinkle with sumac, flaky sea salt, and pepper to taste. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to blister and the goat cheese is melty. Be careful not to over-bake to prevent the goat cheese from drying out. Serve immediately for dipping with crispy crostini, fresh baguette, sourdough, or soft warm pita. Garnish with optional fresh basil, slivered almonds, candied pecans, or finely chopped capers.
