Ingredients
- 24 (1/2-inch-thick) slices baguette bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
- 1/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread slices. Grill the bread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

While the lemon added a very refreshing zing to this dish, that's about all the "wow!" it possessed. On the whole, the cheese spread was really bland and ended up tasting like fresh lemon in a paste. It wasn't bad, mind you, but the lemon seemed to very much dominate and wash out the flavors of the cheese and basil, leaving only their textures to experience.
If I make this again, I will follow one of the other Reviewer's advise and try adding garlic and red peppers to liven it up!

I like this recipe but I used chives with just a bit of lemon juice. Very light....

It didn't blow me away, but it also did NOT disappoint either. Will most likely do it again. I think the lemon was really a HUGE plus; it woke up the cheese!
