Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange)
- 8 oz goat cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray for the loaf pan
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place whole bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until skins are charred and blistered.
- Remove peppers from oven, transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off skins, remove seeds, and slice into flat strips.
- In a medium bowl, mix softened goat cheese, chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Lightly grease a small loaf pan with cooking spray. Layer half the pepper strips evenly on the bottom, spread half the goat cheese mixture over them, then repeat with remaining peppers and cheese.
- Cover the terrine with plastic wrap and press down gently. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- To serve, invert the terrine onto a plate, slice into thick pieces, and garnish with extra basil if desired.
