Author Notes
I don't really get excited about breakfast most days. I am grabbing something to eat in the car. But from time to time I have a few extra minutes in the house with my son and I like to make a special treat. This recipe can be pulled together under 15 minutes. I love the savory sharpness of goat cheese and it is so nicely accented by the slightly sweet but herbal oranges. I used a nice seedy whole grain bread but you can really use your favorite bread or whatever you have on hand. This is great because the broiler can be used at the same time for the oranges and the toast. —meganvt01
Ingredients
-
2
navel oranges, supremed (pith removed from the outside and the segments cut away from the membranes) RESERVE THE JUICE IN A BOWL!
-
1 tablespoon
honey
-
1 teaspoon
rosemary, minced
-
1 teaspoon
olive oil
-
2
thick slices of your favorite bread (I used a seedy whole grain)
-
4 ounces
chevre
-
1 tablespoon
greek yogurt
-
1 tablespoon
toasted pine nuts
-
flaky sea salt to top
Directions
-
Preheat broiler. Mix the orange segments with the honey, rosemary, and olive oil. Place on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil (easy clean up!).
-
Broil the oranges about 4 inches from the broiler until lightly caramelized - about 4 - 7 minutes.
-
Mix the goat cheese with the yogurt and 1 tablespoon of the juice that has accumulated with the orange segment mixture. Mix until smooth.
-
At the same time the oranges are caramelizing - lightly toast your bread on both sides - you can use a toaster or the broiler.
-
Spread the goat cheese mixture on the toast and broil until the mixture bubbles and turns lightly brown about 2 - 4 minutes. During this step - try to make sure the mixture covers the entire toast slice - any exposes bread pieces may get too dark under the broiler. You may like this - if not, just cut off the too dark pieces when the toasts are removed from the oven.
-
Put the oranges over top of the toast, top with toasted pine nuts and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve with reserved juice if you want more intense orangy flavor. Serve immediately!
