FOOD: PEACH CROSTINI & GOAT CHEESE

Hello MBG! Fallon here sharing with you a delicious way to enjoy what is left of summer. Can you believe Fall is right around the corner? I for one couldn't be more thrilled (it's my favorite season after all) but that doesn't mean I'm not going to spend the next few weeks enjoying all the summer fruit options while I still can. I made this appetizer for dinner and ended up eating every last one, never making it to my main course. That's what I love about crostini's they are perfect for an appetizer when having friends over for dinner, but also work well as a quick and delicious dinner for one.

Ingredients: makes 6

1/2 small baguette (I used a combo of Italian & pumpernickel)
2 oz Soft Goat Cheese (or Tofutti cream cheese for those allergic to Dairy)
1 Peach
1 handful of fresh basil
2 Tbsp EVOO
Honey for drizzle

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Slice bread, place on cookie sheet, and drizzle both sides with EVOO; bake for 5 min each side
Meanwhile slice peach and grill, both sides
Slice basil and saute in a small pan with a dash of EVOO for approx. 3 mins, until slightly crunchy
Remove bread from over and let cool
Style it yummy... starting with the goat cheese, adding the peach slice, and a pinch of crunchy basil
Make it sparkle with a drizzle of honey
