STRAWBERRY GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Heat vinegar in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Simmer until reduced by about half, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Prepare a grill for high heat. Place bread slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
• Combine strawberries and thyme in a small bowl and set aside.
• Grill bread on the preheated grill until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Spread goat cheese on toasted bread. Add black pepper, salt, and reduced vinegar to the strawberry mixture. Spoon over the goat cheese topped bruschetta. Garnish with additional thyme.

ROASTED PEPPER AND GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the baguette slices lightly with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and honey in a bowl. Stir in the thyme and red pepper flakes. Add the roasted peppers and shallots to the dressing, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine, then fold in the parsley. Set aside or place in the refrigerator to marinate.
• Spread each toast with a small spoonful of goat cheese. Top with a spoonful of the pepper mixture, followed by a pinch of microgreens. Arrange on a platter and serve.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Slice your bread, if you have not done so already; place them on a baking sheet which you have lined with aluminum foil (just in case something falls off and tries to burn).
• Place the bread under the broiler and toast until light golden; remove.
• Turn the bread over, place the bread under the broiler and toast just until the bread firms slightly but not golden yet; remove.
• Brush the lighter side with olive oil (you may decline this if you are using tomatoes packed in oil, but it's your choice).
• On top of that lay out some basil leaves to cover the top of the bread.
• Mince the sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle on top of the basil; I use regular dried on mine that are still pliant like raisins; if yours are hard you may need to have soaked them in warm water in advance and squeezed dry then mince; but you can do that now, no biggie.
• On top of the tomatoes sprinkle a generous amount of goat cheese and tap down so it doesn't fall off.
• If you like you can add a pinch of sea salt but I didn't.
• Place the bruschettas under the broiler and toast just until the cheese starts to soften and the edges get nice and brown; serve.
