BAKED CHEESE WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE-PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a grill pan or grill over medium heat.
• Lightly brush the pineapple with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add to the grill pan. Toss the jalapeños, poblanos and bell peppers with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and add to the grill pan. Grill the pineapple and peppers until slightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to cutting board. Chop into small dice and add to a bowl. Add the cilantro, agave and lime zest and juice. Toss to combine.
• Place the cream cheese in a small oven-to-table baking dish and top with 1 mounded cup of the relish (reserve remaining relish for another use). Bake until the cheese is soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with crackers.
