# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The way the goat cheese melts into little creamy pockets throughout is absolutely magical
  • You can prep everything ahead and bake it when guests arrive looking like you put in way more effort than you actually did
02 -
  • Do not overcook the vegetables in the beginning because they will continue cooking in the oven and you want them to retain some crunch
  • Letting the fritt cool for those 5 minutes might feel impossible when it smells so good but it really does make cleaner slices
03 -
  • Use a skillet with a light-colored interior so you can see when the bottom is starting to turn golden
  • Grate some lemon zest over the top right before serving for a bright finish that wakes up all the flavors
