Baked Goat Cheese Appetizer with Fresh Tomato/Basil Salsa

We first tasted this at "The Keg" restaurant. I found a copycat recipe online and it is pretty close to the restaurant version.

Salsa

1 large chopped tomato
3-4 basil leaves chopped
1/8-1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 clove minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar

Stir together, cover and chill

Toast 1/4-1/2 cup sliced almonds in a saucepan or in the oven until light brown
Coat goat cheese log/roll in egg white and coat with the almonds

Baked cheese in a 325F oven for about 10 minutes.

Served baked cheese with crackers, melba toast, baked bagel chips or baked pita chips and the salsa.

@valerienguyen362 well it's up to her how much she wants to put on. Gosh don't criticise!

[julingy]

I went to the keg and had this and then I needed to make it myself (since no one can eat at the keg more than once and a while!)

- thank you so much for the wonderfully done video!

[valerienguyen392]

i would nvr put dat much cheese on one cracker like dat, i would spread a very thin layer of da cheese n put a few chunks of salsa, yep i make it last longer

[valerienguyen392]

[MrFlashgordon10]

I made this for our Thanksgiving appetizer and the entire family went wild over it. I served it with a baguette, thinly sliced. Super easy to make and big hit with everyone!

@msgalea There is no way that it is cheaper to go to the Keg than to make this at home.
