These more-than-one-bite savory toasts are perfect alongside chilled rose for your picnic spread.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 to 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Laura Chenel Goat Cheese Thyme & Rosemary Chabis
  • 8 to 12 slices salami (hard or Genoa, depending on preference)
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced (jarred or homemade)
  • Fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • Honey for drizzling
  • Fresh cracked black pepper

 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly.
  2. Generously spread the goat cheese onto each toasted crostini. The herbs in the cheese already bring savory depth, so you don’t need extra seasoning here unless you want a touch of pepper.
  3. Layer a folded slice of salami on each crostini, followed by a few strips of roasted red pepper. Sprinkle fresh dill over the top for a bright, aromatic finish.
  4. Drizzle lightly with honey for a sweet contrast to the salty salami and tangy goat cheese. Enjoy!
