Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 5 oz. soft goat cheese, at room temperature
- 4 to 6 Tbs. heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 or 3 small shallots, minced
- 3 Tbs. pink peppercorns, smashed
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F.
- Cut the baguette on the diagonal into slices 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Turn the slices and bake until the other side is lightly golden as well, about 10 minutes more. Set aside.
- Put the goat cheese in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add 1 Tbs. of the cream and mash it in. Continue to add the cream, 1 Tbs. at a time, until you have a soft, mild spread. Mix in the salt and the shallots to taste.
- When ready to serve, spread each baguette toast with the cheese and shallot spread and top with several pink peppercorns. Serves 12 to 14.
