Ingredients

  • 8 slices rustic wheat bread

  • ½ 8 ounce package peeled fresh whole baby carrots, halved lengthwise

  • 1 8 ounce package button mushrooms, halved

  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped

  • 1 small red onion, cut in thin wedges

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 ounce soft goat cheese (chèvre)

  • Fresh basil (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler. Place bread on baking sheet; set aside.

  2. In large skillet cook carrots, mushrooms, garlic, and onion in hot olive oil over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, until vegetables just begin to brown. Add 2 tablespoons water; cover and cook over medium heat 5 minute, or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  3. Meanwhile, for cheese toast, lightly toast bread 3 inches from boiler heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Spread goat cheese on one side of each slice. Broil 3 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until cheese is softened.

  4. On plates, top cheese toast with vegetables. Drizzle with additional olive oil; sprinkle with fresh basil. Makes 4 servings.
