Baked Goat Cheese and Brown Sugar Toasts

I have a new obsession.
To add to a long list of current obsessions. It's up there with honey Greek yogurt, Just Bunches cereal, dark chocolate ice cream. Which is to say, I eat it at least once a day.

Sometimes twice.



Once you try it, you might too. Anything that combines bread, goat cheese, brown sugar and walnuts has me hooked, especially when it's this easy to make. With only 4 ingredients. Little slices of heaven.

First things first, so we'll start with the bread. Don't waste your goat cheese on just any old bread. This is so much better with a good, thick chunk of fresh made bread. A couple of my favorites types to use are french baguettes and sourdough boules. Here, I used a loaf of 9-grain Italian.


Cut off a few hefty slices, depending how many you want. Next step, spread on the goat cheese. If the goat cheese is cold, this might be a bit difficult. I find popping the bread in the toaster for a minute helps in this process by melting the goat cheese when you apply it to the warm bread. And even if it's a bit chunky, no worries. It will melt more when you bake it.

Next, sprinkle on the brown sugar. 


Then the walnuts.



Stick them under the broiler until the cheese starts to melt and the bread and walnuts begin to toast. Remove and eat while it's warm and melted!
