Warm Goat Cheese in Fresh Tomato Sauce
"This great-tasting appetizer always gets gobbled up in no time. I use fresh vine-ripened tomatoes and the sauce always turns out nice and thick after 8 to 10 minutes of simmering. If you use another type of tomato the simmering time might differ as the liquid content will differ. Just simmer the tomatoes until you have a nice thick, marinara-type sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to put it all together."
