Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Season tomatoes on both sides with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.  Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.  Set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix goat cheese, cream, lemon zest, agave, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.  Spread on a platter or plate.
