Good to know

Chef's tip

To keep the bread from getting soggy, toast it alone in the oven for 2 min before adding the cheese. The result: a nicely crispy base even after going through the oven 🔥.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The bread becomes soft and gummy, and the cooked cheese loses its texture after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Not suitable. The bread softens quickly, best eaten warm and freshly made.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Prepare the goat cheese slices and the oil/thyme/honey mixture. Assemble and bake just before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheating not recommended for the best texture of the bread and cheese. If necessary, oven 5-7 min at 160°C. The microwave softens the toast.

Variations

Add a drizzle of honey when they come out of the oven.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme and black pepper.
Serve with a green salad.

Mistakes to avoid

Baking too long: 10 minutes, until the cheese is melting and lightly golden.
Cutting uneven slices of bread: cut them evenly.
Adding the thyme before baking: add it after baking.

A 120 g goat cheese log, cut into slices and placed on the bread. It becomes melting and lightly golden in the oven.
