Crostini with Herbed Chèvre and Kumquats
6 ingredients
openrecipes
This unusual combination of soft goat cheese, called chèvre, and kumquats is surprisingly pleasing. The slightly tangy goat cheese pairs wonderfully with the bright, juicy citrus fruit. Rubbing the crostini with garlic adds extra flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer. Teleme or a smooth-spreading feta cheese is also delicious with the kumquats.
