GOAT CHEESE CUSTARDS WITH STRAWBERRIES IN RED WINE SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
• Place four custard cups or ramekins in a deep baking dish or pan.
• Blend together the goat cheese, sugar, milk (or cream), egg yolks, and vanilla for 30 seconds until very smooth.
• Divide the mixture into the custard cups; each should be a bit more than half full.
• Add warm tap water to the baking pan, to make a water bath for baking the custards. The water should reach to about halfway up the side of each custard cup.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 15 to 20-minutes.
• When done, remove the custards from the water bath and cool completely.
• In a non-reactive skillet, cook the red wine and sugar until the bubbles get thick (see photo above.)
• Once the syrup is reduced to half its original quantity (1/4 cup, 60ml), remove from heat and scrape into a bowl to cool completely.
• Rinse, hull, and slice strawberries. Toss in syrup, let stand for a minute to two, then spoon onto custards.

They can be chilled up to two days in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, then brought to room temperature prior to serving. Note: Bake them until they just stop quivering loosely when you jiggle the pan. Don't overbake them; if you're unsure, remove them from the oven before you think they're done and let them rest covered with foil. That usually does the trick, and they'll glide gently into baked-custard perfection.
