Ingredients
- 4 Slices of baguette or rustic bread
- 4 oz Soft goat cheese
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp Optional: Walnuts or pecans, chopped
- 1 tsp Optional: Balsamic glaze
Prepare the Bread
Lightly toast the slices of baguette or rustic bread. This will provide a nice crunchy base for the tartine. You can use a toaster, a broiler, or a skillet to toast the bread to your desired level of crispness. If using a skillet, lightly brush the bread with olive oil before toasting.
Spread the Goat Cheese
Spread a generous layer of soft goat cheese onto each slice of toasted bread. Make sure the goat cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading. You can crumble the goat cheese if it's too firm.
Drizzle with Honey
Drizzle honey over the goat cheese. The amount of honey is adjustable to your preference, use more or less depending on your desired level of sweetness. A high-quality honey will enhance the flavor.
Garnish
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the honey and goat cheese. If desired, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor. A drizzle of balsamic glaze can add a tangy and complex flavor.
Serve Immediately
Serve the goat cheese and honey tartines immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy!

FAQ

Can I use a different type of cheese?
