Recipe: Appetizer:
Chevre and Herbed Balsamic Honey Crostini
This simple, delectable
appetizer will soon become a permanent part
of your kitchen repertoire. (Serves 4 to
6)
6-8 ounces young, fresh chèvre
½ cup honey
⅓ cup water
a few sprigs of one of your favorite herbs,
such as sage, basil, rosemary, thyme
3½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
12 smallish slices crusty bread, toasted
Combine honey and water in
a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add herbs
and reduce heat to a simmer. Let cook for
about 10 minutes, until total liquid is
reduced to about ½ cup. Remove and discard
herbs. Stir in balsamic vinegar and cool.
Spread goat cheese thickly
on toast. Drizzle with honey syrup and serve.
These rich, creamy
crostini are quite versatile with wine,
pairing nicely with sparkling, white and
even red wine.
