This is a personal favorite snack of mine. I had something close to this in Seattle but I have redone it to this.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This sun-dried tomato and goat cheese crostini is a wonderful appetizer for summer entertaining. They come together in minutes. Rubbing garlic onto slices of French baguette before toasting adds a hint of garlic flavor. Then, the toasted bread is topped with creamy goat cheese and sweet sun-dried tomatoes. The flavor combination is heavenly. Before serving, you could drizzle a bit of the sun-dried tomato oil, or olive oil for an extra punch of flavor. Simple ingredients create a tasty and easy-to-make appetizer.
