Herby Tomato Grilled Crostini

It’s tomato season! Scoop up some juicy, vine-ripened cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs from the farmer's market (or your garden) and whip up this simple crostini that's sure to delight.

Serve as an app or a light lunch, or add a side of grilled chicken to make an easy and delicious summer supper. Most importantly, pair with a beautiful chilled white or rosé - we recommend our newly released 2023 Sauvignon Blanc or our 2023 Rosé.

Herby Tomato Grilled Crostini

Recipe by Tanya Miller

Serves: 4-6 

Recommended wine pairing: 2023 Sauvignon Blanc & 2023 Rosé

INGREDIENTS:

• ~12 oz heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered depending on size

• 1 pkg Garlic & Herb Boursin cheese

• ¼ c goat cheese

• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar of Modena

• 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped or grated

• 1-2  tsp fresh basil & dill, chopped (more if you love herbs!)

• Optional: Italian parsley, finely chopped

• Loaf of artisan bread, sliced

• 1-2 Tbsp avocado or other high heat oil

• Kosher or sea salt to taste

• Garnish: Flaky salt
  

DIRECTIONS:

1. To a small/medium serving bowl, add tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt and vinegars - mix together.

2. While tomatoes marinate, slice bread to desired thickness. Brush with the high heat oil on both sides.

3. Combine the Boursin and goat cheese together in a small serving dish and stir until well combined and creamy.

4. Preheat barbecue or grill pan to med-high heat. Once heated, place bread on the grill and sprinkle lightly on one side with salt. Once it has reached your desired level of golden/char, turn over and repeat. Remove from grill and place on a platter.

5. Add herbs to the tomato mixture. Serve with cheese mixture and crostini. We recommended serving tomatoes, cheese and crostini separately so that each guest can make their own and the crostini stays crisp and fresh. Sprinkle with flaky salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if desired.

6. Serve and enjoy with a chilled glass of our beautiful new 2023 Sauv Blanc or our 2023 Rosé of Grenache!
