Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized beets
- 8 oz fresh goat cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Fresh herbs (e.g., thyme or basil) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
- Cool and Peel: Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Carefully unwrap and peel off the skins using your fingers or a paper towel.
- Slice the Beets: Slice each beet into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring uniformity for stacking.
- Assemble the Millefeuille: On a serving platter, stack the beet slices alternately with dollops of goat cheese, creating visually appealing layers.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the layered dish and sprinkle fresh herbs on top for added flavor and decoration.
- Serve: Transfer slices onto plates or serve family-style from the platter. Enjoy!
