To buy
- 1 loaf bread for toasting
From your shelf
- 8 ounces cranberry orange goat cheese
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Spread the 8 ounces of goat cheese into the pan once the oil shimmers, breaking it into rough pieces as you go. Let the cheese warm and soften, stirring gently, until it's warm all the way through and just beginning to brown at the edges, about 4 minutes.
- While the cheese warms, slice 4 thick pieces from the loaf of bread and toast them until they're golden and crisp.
- Season the warm cheese with salt and pepper. Spoon it onto the toasted bread, letting the warm oil from the pan run over the top. Eat while the toast is still hot.
Note You could add sliced fresh apple or pear on the side if you have one. Leftovers keep in a covered container in the fridge for two days, though the bread will soften; eat the cheese with fresh toast, or crackers. This is complete as it stands, but a green salad tossed with vinaigrette on the side turns it into something more formal.
