Just in time for peach season is this amazing caramelized peach and goat cheese crostini recipe Daniel devised and whipped up one night. It is like a savory adult version of dinner-for-breakfast French toast and it is de-lish. Goes great with a simple side salad and the recipe itself is very relaxed. Hurry before peach season wraps up!
- Assemble the ingredients:
• Bread - a loaf of french, sourdough or similar
• Goat cheese (soft)
• Olive oil
• Peaches - don't be stingy, about 1-2 per person
• Brown sugar
• Good balsamic vinegar (optional) |
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, slice your bread and brush lightly with olive oil. Pop the prepared bread in the oven until lightly toasted.
- Combine water and brown sugar in a skillet and let them cook together until they reduce a bit to form a nice syrup. This step has a lot of leeway depending if you want the peaches to be drenched in syrup or a more au naturale approach. We've done it both ways and it is equally delicious, a little bit more on the syrupy-side helps with the dryness of the crostini.
- Pit and cut your peaches (diced, sliced or however you like them). Add them to your syrup mix and cook until they are softened and warm.
- Meanwhile, take your bread out of the oven, and spread soft goat cheese over the warm bread. The warmth of the bread should make the cheese spread easily and melt it a little.
- Ladle a good helping of the peaches over each crostini.
- Finish with a drizzle of good balsamic vinegar.
