  • A warm toast with creamy goat cheese

    Two ingredients that create magic for our taste buds. I know they create for me!

    Goat cheese pizza or goat cheese panini, paired with some vegetables or fruits, they complement each other well. A drizzle of fruity extra virgin olive oil or a drizzle of aged balsamic, they add another dimension to the duo. Garnish of fragrant herbs add more flavor to them.

    I have been enjoying warm toast with a generous spread of goat cheese topped with a healthy dose of avocado. The two together with rustic bread are a perfect combination of rich creaminess and a hearty bite. For this recipe, I topped it with some orange peppers and roasted pumpkin seeds.  A little color and a little crunch. Mint added fresh flavors to this recipe.

    It is a quick and easy lunch with some salad greens.

    There are no set measurements for this recipe. Make it to your taste. Use as much or as little goat cheese or avocado. I have been on a joyride of enjoying the two generously. One large toast loaded with all the goodness was my lunch. You make it a meal or a small bite. Savor it slowly, a nibble at a time.

    I love goat cheese and avocado. I like combining them on sandwiches but this is a good idea too, especially for appetizers.

      Thanks for your comment. Avocados are abundant in California, and I keep looking for ways to use them apart from so predictable guacamole. Appetizers sound great!
