2 tablespoons basil, julienned |
salt, to taste |
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. Toast bread crumbs in butter over, til browned. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together goat cheese, sour cream, and olive oil until smooth.
3. Mix in roasted sweet peppers, capers, sultanas, and basil til combined.
