Ingredient Notes

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter – can use olive oil for dairy-free version.
• 1 pound fresh goat cheese – look for mild, creamy varieties; feta can substitute.
• 1/2 cup fresh rosemary – dried herbs can also work, but fresh is best for flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions

- Broil for about 8-10 minutes, watching closely until the edges are golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Serve warm, drizzled with a touch of honey if desired for sweetness.
