Peach and Goat Cheese Tartine
To me, this represents summertime encapsulated on a single piece of bread. August marks the celebration of national goat cheese month (though the authority behind such designations remains a mystery), and what could be a more delightful manner to savor chevre than by pairing it with lusciously sweet, perfectly ripe peach slices? Infuse a hint of thyme and black pepper for added intrigue, and you have yourself a truly exceptional indulgence.
Ingredients
- 2 (1 inch thick) slices French bread, toasted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
- 4 ounces fresh goat cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, or to taste
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 6 fresh peach slices
Instructions
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place toast on prepared baking sheet and drizzle each side with about 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Stir goat cheese, thyme, pepper together in a bowl until soft and spreadable.
- Spread cheese mixture on each piece of toast all the way to the edges so entire piece is covered.
- Top each toast with 3 peach slices: drizzle remaining olive oil and sprinkle salt over the top.
- Broil in the preheated oven until tops and edges are lightly browned, and cheese and peaches are warmed through, about 2 minutes.
