Peach Honey Toast (Print-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 -
Slice up a big baguette into about 24 thick rounds, each close to 2/3 inch.
→ Topping
02 -
Chop up 4 juicy peaches (get rid of the pits first), dice them nice and small—about 1/4 inch.
03 -
Thinly slice or roll-cut half a cup of fresh basil leaves.
04 -
One clove garlic, mince it up real fine.
05 -
Finely dice a third cup of red onion.
→ Cheese & Garnish
06 -
Four ounces of plain chèvre (goat cheese)
07 -
Drizzle over a tablespoon of the best extra-virgin olive oil you’ve got
08 -
Spoon on a teaspoon of honey
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Grab your toasts and line them up on a pretty platter. Splash each one with just a bit of honey and olive oil. Best enjoyed fresh right at room temp.
02 -
Take the cooled bread slices and swipe a teaspoon of goat cheese on each. Next, lay a spoonful of peach mix on top.
03 -
Dump the peaches, basil, onion, and garlic in a large bowl. Stir things up so everything gets coated and friendly.
04 -
Put the oven broiler on high. Set your baguette slices on a baking pan and pop them under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye out so they just get toasty brown. Let them cool off on the counter.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Want something different? Swap in cherries, plums, nectarines, or apricots for the peaches.
02 -
Making it vegan? Pick your favorite plant-based cream cheese and use agave instead of honey.
03 -
Need it gluten-free? Reach for certified gluten-free bread or your top gluten-free crackers.
04 -
Don’t love goat cheese? Ricotta or cream cheese are awesome swaps and taste a bit lighter.
