Tangy Goat Cheese and Summer Tomato Crostini

So simple, inexpensive and your guests can't have just one.  The only trick to this recipe is finding the ripest summer tomato, toasting the bread to a golden perfection and softening the tangy goat cheese.  We had friends visiting from out of town and I made the crostini's  (they went fast) along side an assorted cheese plate with fruit and roasted garlic.   This will serve 4-6 people.


Tangy Goat Cheese and Summer Tomato Crostini's 

2 ripened tomatos thinly sliced
1 log of goat cheese or goat cheese crumbles softened
1 baguette (get a bread with a dense crust)

Cut the baguette thinly and arrange on a cookie sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil and lightly salt and pepper the bread.  Get them nice and toasted.  While hot out of the oven spread the softened goat cheese generously onto the bread.  Top with a rip tomato and add more salt and pepper. 

If you want you could add freshly cut basil, but its delicious without it.
