Warm Goat Cheese in Marinara

We have gone to a local restaurant called Cucina Paradiso many times and they have an appetizer that pairs goat cheese, pesto and marinara over crostini.  This is close.  The goat cheese makes this dish.

Freeze one 4oz. log goat cheese for 15 minutes.  Unwrap and cut into 1/2 inch slices.  Combine 1 C. marinara and 2 tbsp. minced fresh basil in a small shallow baking dish.  Top with goat cheese slices; sprinkle with cracked black pepper to taste.  Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes until heated through.  Serve warm with toasted baguette slices.
