Baked Goat Cheese with Roasted Garlic and Pull Apart Baguettes.
Apparently it’s a week of cheese!
Not complaining, not complaining.
I totally didn’t realize it as I was sharing recipes this week, but here I sit in San Francisco typing up another cheesy recipe to go with Monday’s grilled cheese and yesterday’s cheesy avocado toast. I swear Monday holds something different, uncheesy and sweet for you.
So worth it though right?
To go with the most overused phrase ever: this baked goat cheese in 100% my new obsession. It is unreal. I had a slightly-similar-but-not-so-much version in Boston last week, came home for about 24 hours and made the freaking baked goat cheese – that’s just how far the infatuation went. Deep impact, I tell you. Deeeeep.
Can we talk about the millions of other ways you can bake this cheese? How about with some figs? Olives? Flavored oils? Different vegetables and herbs and such? Maybe even FRUIT?
I went with the caramely roasted garlic cloves – peeled and roasted inside a mini ramekin of oil just so the oil could adopt some ridiculous flavor as well – the used both ingredients on the cheese with some roasted peppers.
Oh my goooooosh.
I won’t even hate you if you want to dip vegetables in this.
Oh oh oh. And.
Here’s the deal with these little pull apart baguettes. They aren’t quite toasted – but they are warm. I find that this is KEY – drench them in a good brushing of olive oil, some sea salt and pepper and fresh herbs, then bake until just warmed through. They are so so so so fab when dipped in the hot goat cheese.
It’s quite possible this entire thing was devoured by two people. Maybe….
Baked Goat Cheese with Roasted Garlic and Pull Apart Baguettes
Ingredients
- 8 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, patted dry
pull apart baguettes
- 1 long baguette, sliced into 4 pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven the 375 degrees F. Place the garlic cloves and olive oil in a small ramekin. Put it in the oven and roast until the garlic is caramely and golden, about 20 minutes.
- Mix the goat cheese with 1 tablespoon of the fresh thyme, the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Form it into an oval and place it in the center of a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Surround the cheese with the roasted red peppers. Pour almost all of the oil over the goat cheese and place the garlic cloves on top. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and smooth and hot. Pop the bread in the oven in the last 5 minutes, just to warm it. Remove from the oven and drizzle with remaining olive oil and thyme. Serve immediately.
pull apart baguettes
- Take each section of the baguette and slice into the bread every 1/2-inch, just stopping before you slice through. Brush the bread with the olive oil – getting inside the crevices. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder, as well as the fresh thyme. Pop in the oven for the last 5 minutes of the goat cheese baking – I prefer these to be soft and untoasted, but still warm.

We do not have baguettes here, can i try this with large Capsicums? I believe this can be great like the one you are showing me here, but better if you can tell more what if i do not get baguettes?
I think you are referring to the peppers (capuscums) rather than the baguettes (which is the bread in the above recipe). I imagine it would be quite easy to roast your own capiscums for this recipe– the only difference is that we can access capiscums that have been roasted and jarred, so you will need to complete an additional step.
If you also can’t access baguette, I’m sure any bread item would work well (pita, crackers, etc)
I can definitely see why this is your new obsession. It’s a straight up BABE.
Never ever apologize for cheese…especially baked IN MY FACE goat cheese!
This appetizer looks absolutely scrumptious. Will definitely remember to make this for my next get together!

What do you think red or white? This would be a good Friday night dinner,although I need to make something for Sunday night……………….THE WALKING DEAD is on…………
I can never have enough reasons to eat goat cheese, so I’m all over this. Looks incredible. Thanks for sharing!
Golden nuggets of garlic! Hooray! I just love that shot of them sizzling away… I’ll dunk anything in that skillet, no prob. Looks fantastic! ;)

Oh my god! This looks absolutely amazing! Carbs and cheese have to be my number one and I could eat this particular dish every single night! The warmed not toasted bread is genius!
This looks amazing! And yet….. I can’t eat garlic. Could you pistol some other ways to make it? Thanks
Ha! Ha! i love how just the other day you were saying, “If a marriage could end over toast…” because you want your toast toasted and Eddie wants his bread warm…and then you go and post a recipe for warm bread! Ha! Sorry. Hysterical….and I want to swallow that pan of cheese in one gulp.
I’ve never tried goat cheese-It’s time!
Daaaaaaaaaaamn Gina! This looks amazing. My boyfriend always gets on me for not eating “meals” and always just “snacking” for dinner or lunch or whatever. WHY MUST PEOPLE HATE ON SNACKING?! This could totally be dinner.
I read all your recipes and occasionally – only occasionally – I can actually taste one as I read. And this is one of those. it is delish and I will be trying it very soon – but on a night when I don’t have to go anywhere to breathe all that garlic on people the following day.
ohh yahhh. definitely doing this! though my husband haates goat cheese. wah. so what’s a girl to do? eat the entire thing by myself, you say?
I made this for lunch today. So good! Thanks for the recipe. This one’s a keeper.
You can never have enough cheese in your life! Looks so delicious!

How much salt/pepper/garlic powder goes in the cheese?
This was AMAZING! Made it tonight for my family as an appetizer + they all raved about it, saying that it was “a keeper” and “one of the best things” they’d ever eaten! The cheese was creamy, the roasted garlic was incredible and the presentation is cute as a button. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Hello! I’ve made lots of stuff from your site and I’ve loved everything! I had a question about this recipe though. I was starting to make it for a party tonight and I saw that the seasonings for the goat cheese (garlic powder, s&p) aren’t up there. The seasonings & measurements are under the baguette, but I don’t know how much to put in my goat cheese.
I’m just gonna wing it and I’m sure it’ll be fine, but I thought I’d mention it!
Thanks for every happy party you’ve helped me bring food to! Everyone thinks I’m amazing. :)
Angelina.. how did it turn out? I am getting ready to make as well and had question about the garlic powder s&p

How big of a skillet did you put it in?
I have to try it, looks very yummm yumm
Just made this…delicious! We had Thanksgiving dinner at a friend’s house around 1pm, so six+ hours later, this appetizer hit the spot. I cooked the garlic earlier today when I baked your buttery cloverleaf rolls as one of my assigned dishes for the potluck. Thank you !
