Recipe: Goat Cheese and Mint Bruschetta with Honeydew and Pistachios
These delicious, simple-to-make bruschette are the perfect way to wake your taste buds up to the fact that summer is on its way.
Start with some beautiful slices of sourdough bread, grilled just enough so that they’re crisp on the outside and still chewy within. Smear with a creamy and zesty mixture of goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and mint, and top with thinly sliced honeydew melon and a scattering of toasted pistachios.
