Yield Makes 40 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 7

40 (1/4-inch-thick) slices from 1 baguette
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 oz mild soft goat cheese at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped mixed tender fresh herbs such as basil, chives, chervil, dill, parsley, and tarragon; or 1 tablespoon chopped mixed strong fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
1/3 cup well-chilled heavy cream

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Divide baguette slices between 2 shallow baking pans. Lightly brush tops of slices with oil, then lightly season with salt and pepper. Bake, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until toasts are crisp but not hard, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir together goat cheese, herbs, shallot, and pepper. Season with salt.
  • Beat cream with a whisk until it just holds soft peaks, then fold into cheese mixture. Serve with toasts.

Categories     Garlic     Appetizer     Goat Cheese     Rosemary     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

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:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor for this recipe. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the goat cheese: Overmixing the goat cheese will make it too soft and runny. Mix the goat cheese just until the herbs are evenly distributed.
  • Use a good quality bread: A good quality bread will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the goat cheese and toppings, but not too dense.
  • Toast the bread before assembling the toasts: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up to the goat cheese and toppings. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven or on a grill.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when toasting the bread: If you overcrowd the pan, the bread will not toast evenly. Toast the bread in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the toasts immediately: The toasts are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Herbed goat cheese toasts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties and potlucks, or for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
