Warm Goat Cheese With Walnuts And Toast

Ingredients

1 baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal

1 cup walnut halves (about 3 ounces)

1 6-ounce disk fresh goat cheese

1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Toast bread until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

Place walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 6 to 7 minutes.

Heat broiler. Place goat cheese on baking sheet, brush the top with olive oil, and place as close to the flame as possible. Broil until the top of the cheese is flecked with brown and slightly bubbly, about 2 minutes. Arrange the cheese, walnuts, and toast on a dish and serve immediately.
