For a richer flavor, use marinated goat cheese. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the ramekins with cooking spray before adding the oil. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for heat. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. A balsamic glaze drizzle after baking adds a tangy sweetness.

01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Feb 25, 2025Be careful not to overbake - the goat cheese gets a little rubbery if you do.
