I’m having to get creative with beets this week because I thought I ordered four beets, but I was delivered four bunches. 😂


This toast was so simple and so good, I had to share: sweet roasted peaches and beets, creamy goat cheese, honey, and olive oil over toasted sourdough. It’s beautiful enough for brunch and easy enough for a weekday snack.

Ingredients

½ Peaches, sliced (into 1/2 inch wedges)
½ each Beets, sliced (a mandolin helps)
Olive Oil, to taste
Honey, to taste
Salt (Kosher Salt), to taste
1 slice Sourdough Bread
1 oz Soft Cheeses (Chèvre), crumbled

Instructions

PREP THE PEACHES AND BEETS: Heat oven to 350 °F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment. While oven is heating, toss the peach slices with enough olive oil to coat each one, plus a little bit of honey, and salt. Next, repeat the same process with the beet slices.
• Do not reverse the order unless you want your peaches to turn pinky-red from the beets, which would look cool too.
ROAST THE PEACHES AND BEETS: Arrange the peach & beet slices in a single layer on the baking sheet so they aren’t touching. Roast 10–15 minutes. When they're ready the peaches will be softened and fragrant, and the beets will begin to crinkle and brown at the edges. Transfer the beets to a paper towel–lined plate for a few minutes. They’ll firm up slightly as they cool.
TOAST AND ASSEMBLE: Toast the sourdough until golden and sturdy. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Layer beet slices over the toast. Add roasted peaches. Crumble goat cheese over the top. Finish with a light drizzle of honey and, if you like, another small drizzle of olive oil. Add a pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately.
