You
will need six shallow 6-inch (15 cm) round gratin dishes or one 10 1/2-inch (27
cm) round baking dish
10 ounces (300 g) soft goat cheese or a mix of
rindless soft goat and cow or sheep's milk cheese, cubed
2 teaspoons minced
fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons minced
fresh oregano leaves or a pinch of dried leaf oregano, crushed
1 1/2 to 2
cups (33 to 50 cl) homemade tomato Sauce, at room temperature
24
best-quality black olives (such as French Nyons), pitted
Preheat the
broiler.
Scatter the cheese on the bottom of the baking dish or dishes.
Sprinkle with half of the herbs. Spoon on just enough tomato sauce to evenly
coat the cheese. Sprinkle with olives and the remaining herbs.
Place the
baking dish or dishes under the broiler about 3 inches (8 cm) from the heat.
Broil until the cheese is melted and fragrant, and the tomato sauce is
sizzling, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add julienned bits of proscuitto,
diced cooked sausage, sautéed mushrooms, or marinated artichokes.
