Here’s a great, seasonal starter for two that’s quick and easy to make. (You could even use a toaster oven to make this.) Goat cheese is browned on top of slices of kabocha squash, and paired with a simple salad of frisée.

Ingredients

2 slices kabocha squash, seeded and halved
2 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
4 ounce goat cheese
3 ounce frisée
1 teaspoon chives, chopped
1 tablespoon currant raisins
2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Rub the kabocha with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Place on a baking sheet and roast until lightly browned at the edges and soft.
Turn the oven to broil. Fill the cavities of the squash with the goat cheese and broil until soft throughout and browned.
