Goat Cheese, Heirloom Tomato + Basil Crostini

Another easy and beautiful crostini perfect for summer.  If you're not a goat cheese fan I'd use burrata or a really good buffalo mozzarella.

Sliced baguette.  Goat cheese.  Heirloom Tomatoes.  Basil.  Olive Oil.  Sea Salt.  
Rinse.  Repeat.

Verdant Grass Fed Blue

Smooth, very pungent and surprisingly made in the USA.  It's unique flavor is attributed to the rich pasture grazing in Minnesota and sandstone-cave aging process.   Love this blue.

Zamorano

Very similar to Manchego, this Spanish sheep's milk cheese has a nutty, savory flavor that pairs great with a nice cured meat and a smooth Malbec. 

After a stressful day at work: priceless.

Goat Cheese & Blackberry Crostini with Honey

Sweet + Savory.  My favorite qualities of any bite of food, I was delighted to stumble upon a photo of these on a random tumblr a few weeks ago.  Such an easy concept, I was eager to give them a try. 
Rustic crostini (well the baguette slices were toasted prior to topping), with goat cheese (let it get to room temp so it's easily spreadable), blackberries, and drizzled with raw honey.  A beautiful addition to the table and the favorite of the day.
