Cheese Baked with Salsa

Ingredients 

Artisan Cheese

  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

  • 2 large tomato ripe greenhouse tomatoes
  • 1-2 jalapeno roasted, peeled, seeded, minced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp lime juice freshly squeezed

Instructions 

Artisan Cheese

  • Preheat oven to 375°F/180°C.

  • Arrange the cheese in an even layer on top of the oil and scatter the fresh herb sprigs on top.
  • Bake until the cheese is soft and gooey, about 25 minutes.

Notes

Roasting method for jalapeño peppers:
Coat peppers with a light layer of vegetable oil. Rotate peppers over open flame, either on a bbq or gas stove, until peppers turn black and blister.  If an open flame isn’t available, a broiler can be used. Slice the pepper in half and remove the core, seeds, and membrane. On a broiler plate, place peppers open side down and broil until skins are black and blistered. Cover peppers in a bowl and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Peel the black skin off.
