Instructions

Sweet, sun-ripened strawberries and creamy goat cheese create a delightful balance of flavors on crisp toasted artisan bread. The berries bring bright fruit character and natural sweetness, while the tangy goat cheese adds richness and complexity.

Finished with a drizzle of honey and fresh herbs, this elegant toast is perfect as an appetizer, brunch offering, or light wine-country bite.

1. Lightly coat the sourdough bread slices with a neutral oil lightly toast in either a toaster oven or sauté pan over medium heat. Set aside.
2. In a stand mixer, add the soft goat cheese, heavy cream and white pepper. Use the whisk attachment and whisk until combined and whipped.
3. Remove the stem and slice the cleaned and rinsed strawberries.
4. Toss the strawberries with the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a mixing bowl.

Jenny's Tip: - Smear the whipped goat cheese on the toast and top with the sugar coated strawberries, add a few pieces of honeycomb along with a few pieces of torn mint, then drizzle with balsamic glaze to finish the dish.
