Goat Cheese Tartine with Honey

Toasted country bread with goat cheese, briefly grilled and drizzled with honey and thyme.

Ingredients · for 2 servings

• 4 slices country bread
• 200 g goat cheese log
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp coarsely ground pepper
• 40 g walnuts
• 1 handful arugula

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven broiler to 240°C and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Brush the bread slices thinly with olive oil and toast on the sheet for 3-4 min. until the edges are crisp but the center stays soft.
3. Cut the goat cheese log into eight rounds about 1.5 cm thick and place two rounds on each slice of bread.
4. Slide the tartines under the broiler for 4-5 min. until the cheese flows softly and shows light brown spots on top - no longer, or it will dry out.
5. Meanwhile toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 2-3 min. until fragrant and chop them coarsely.
6. Drizzle the hot tartines with honey, sprinkle with thyme, walnuts and pepper and serve immediately with a few arugula leaves.
