Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 2' baguette crusty bread
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 1/4 cup honey and or jam can use both
- assortment fresh fruit figs, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, apples
Instructions
- Warm it up! Yep, that's the big trick. Microwave it on defrost for 15 seconds, stir, and repeat if needed. Do not heat it on high, use the defrost setting, or leave it on the counter for 30 minutes so it's no longer cold, then stir it, or place it in a bowl and put a bowl of warm water under the bowl with the goat cheese and allow it to "warm" up.
- A long thin baguette of crusty bread is my favorite. I slice it on a diagonal, then lightly brush both sides with oil and heat it on a pan on the stove, place them on the grill or griddle (like a Blackstone) or a slotted rack or pizza screen in the oven, you can broil for 1-2 minutes on high. Toast both sides until golden.
