Smoked salmon on herbed goat cheese crostini - a delicious, easy appetizer for any gathering.
Ingredients:
  • 8 oz soft fresh goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 30 thin slices French-bread baguette
  • 12 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon
  • Thinly peeled lemon peel strips from one lemon, cut into tiny slivers*
  • *Use a sharp vegetable peeler to peel wide strips from a lemon. Probably the peel from just half of one lemon will do. Take a metal spoon and scoop out and discard any white pith that is under the peels you've removed. The pith is bitter. Then slice the peel into tiny slivers. If you do this part in advance, cover with plastic wrap so the strips do not dry out before you put them on the salmon.
Instructions:
  • Combine goat cheese, fresh herbs, zesty lemon, and vibrant black pepper in a small bowl and mix until well blended. Preheat the oven to 350°F. The cheese mixture can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for a couple of days.
  • Place the bread slices on a large baking sheet and generously brush both sides with oil. Bake until perfectly crisp, about 5 minutes per side. (Toasts can be made ahead of time and stored for a couple of hours.)
  • Spread a layer of the delicious cheese mixture over the toasts. Place the salmon on top, adjusting to fit perfectly. Sprinkle lemon peel strips for an extra burst of flavor. Arrange beautifully on a platter and enjoy your exquisite creation.
