40 (1/4-inch-thick) slices from 1 baguette
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 oz mild soft goat cheese at room temperature

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 small garlic clove
1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 cup soft mild goat cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 slices country-style bread (about 6 1/2 by 3 inches each)

Steps:

Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a small bowl stir together garlic paste, salt, rosemary, goat cheese, olive oil, and pepper. Toast bread and cut each slice into 4 pieces. Spread herbed goat cheese on toasts.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh herbs and high-quality goat cheese.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet. The toasts will cook more evenly if they have space to circulate.
Watch the toasts closely while they are baking. They can burn quickly.
Serve the toasts immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Herbed goat cheese toasts are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. They are perfect for a party or a casual get-together. With their creamy goat cheese, fresh herbs, and crispy bread, these toasts are sure to be a hit.
