Raspberries with Goat Cheese

Warm creamy goat cheese gets a bright lift from fresh raspberries.

This appetizer packs a lot of punch for minimal effort. You can make the individual toasts, or take the lazy route: serve the toasts, macerated raspberries, and warmed goat cheese and let guests make their own delicious bites.

Ingredients

For the goat cheese:

• 8 ounces goat cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For the raspberries:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pint raspberries
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

For serving:

• 24 crackers or toasted baguette slices

Instructions

• Preheat a broiler to high.
• Place the goat cheese in a small, oven-proof dish. Drizzle lightly with 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil, sea salt and a few twists of a pepper mill. Broil the goat cheese until a golden crust begins to form, about 8-10 minutes. (Use your best judgement, as broilers can vary wildly.)
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Add the raspberries and gently combine with the dressing. Tear the mint leaves into pieces and toss them in.
• Remove the goat cheese from the oven, and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
• To serve, spread the goat cheese on the crackers or toasted baguette slices; finish with a spoonful of the raspberry mix.
• Serve immediately.
