Goat Cheese, Dates, and Walnut Mini Toasts

Here’s an idea for a very “pantry-style” toast, a kind of minimalist comfort food made with ease. This goat cheese, walnut, and date mini toast is the perfect snack playing on contrasts: the creaminess of the cheese, the sweetness of the dates, and the slight bitterness of the walnuts. It’s also the ideal tartine for a savory breakfast, brunch, or even an aperitif.

All its flavor lies in the quality of the ingredients: good fresh goat cheese, extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground pepper, beautiful slices of toasted sourdough bread, dates with sweet and caramelized notes, and crunchy, meaty walnuts…

Ingredients:

• Fresh or slightly creamy goat cheese

• Sliced bread

• Dried dates

• Coarsely chopped walnut halves

• Extra virgin olive oil

• Fleur de sel (sea salt flakes)

• Pepper

Préparation :

• Toast the bread slices.

• Cut the dried dates into thin strips.

• Once the bread is toasted, spread fresh goat cheese on the toast.

• Then add the date strips and walnut halves.

• Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.

• Sprinkle a little fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper on top of the toasts.
