Grilled Peach & Goat Cheese Crostini
During the summer, my favorite thing is peaches! These grilled peach and goat cheese crostinis are the perfect appetizer for the summer!
Equipment
- cookie sheet
- Knife
- Cutting Board
- Grated Cast Iron
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French Bread sliced
- 8 oz. Goat Cheese
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1/2 tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 3 Peaches sliced and peeled
- 2 basil leaves
Instructions
- First, put the goat cheese, olive oil, honey, red pepper flakes, and basil (full leaves) in a bowl- do not mix yet- and allow it to sit for 20-30 minutes; this extra time is not necessary but it does infuse the flavors more! Then, slice the french bread into 1/2 inch slices. Place the slices on a cookie sheet and place in the oven on low broil for 3 minutes, and flip and toast the other sides of the toasts for 3 minutes. While the bread is toasting, peel and slice your peaches.
- Next, dice the basil into thin slices and place it back into the goat cheese. Mix the goat cheese mixture together with a fork until well combined.
- Then, preheat a grated cast iron pan over medium high heat. Sear the peaches on one side for one minute and flip and sear again for one minute.
- Spread 1/2 tbsp of the goat cheese mixture on a toast and top with a peach! Serve immediately!
Notes
The best tip is to allow the goat cheese to sit in the marinating ingredients for about a half hour before you stir it all together. While this is not necessary, it will make the flavors stronger than if you just mix it straight in!
