Herbed Goat-Cheese ToastsHans Gissinger

Goat cheese makes a lovely base for fresh herbs, carrying their flavor and punctuating their brightness with its gentle tang; in this spread, it tastes particularly mild because of the little bit of whipped cream folded in. Take the cheese out to soften before heading for the farmers market, and by the time you get back, it will be ready to mix with whatever herbs you've found there.

Cooks' Notes:

·Toasts can be baked 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
·Cheese mixture can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
