CROSTINI II

     Since crostini are so ubiquitous an appetizer, I am adding to our already extensive list. Imagination and availability of ingredients are the sources of an endless variety. I am suggesting this as one more delicious choice.

    8-10 people (amounts vary)

    Aprox. 20 toasted rounds of a baguette

    10 oz. Of plain goat cheese
    3 Tbls finely minced chives or shallots
    3 Tbs finely minced garlic
    3 Tbs chopped herbs (oregano, basil, thyme,etc.)
    3 to 4 roasted peppers, skinned and sliced in thin strips
    4Tbs olive oil
    3Tbs lemon juice
    salt & pepper to taste

    Mix goat cheese, shallots, garlic, herbs, salt & pepper olive oil and lemon juice together.

    Spread on toasted baguette rounds
    Add slices of roasted pepper
    Voila !
