Goat Cheese Toasts with Walnuts, Honey & ThymeRay Kachatorian

Dripping with honey and sprinkled with fresh thyme, cracked pepper, and sea salt, these warm, crunchy toasts make a delicious breakfast, after-school treat, or lunch when matched with a handful of salad greens. I'm always amazed how something so simple, and a tad messy, can be so unbelievably good.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 to 4 servings

Ingredients

whole-grain bread, 4 slices, each about 2 1/2 by 5 inches (6 by 13 cm), lightly toasted
fresh goat cheese, 3 oz (90 g), at room temperature
walnuts, 1/4 cup (1 oz/30 g) coarsely chopped
roasted walnut oil, 1 tsp
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
honey, for drizzling
fresh thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the toasts on a small rimmed baking sheet. Spread the toast slices evenly with the goat 1 cheese, and sprinkle with the walnuts, dividing them evenly. Drizzle 1/4 tsp of the walnut oil over each toast. Bake until the walnuts are toasted and the cheese is warm, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Transfer the toasts to plates and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle each toast with honey, then sprinkle with the thyme leaves and serve.
