Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces goat cheese, softened
1 teaspoon dried basil
4 (1/2 inch thick) slices crusty bread
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can sliced beets, drained and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler for high heat. Line a baking sheet with foil.
