Yum, yum, yum! I reduced the recipe by about 2/3; my 4 oz. (113 ml.) goat cheese, with added ingredients is perfect for 4 people, as an appy! It was late when fixing, so I just used the toaster oven for the crostini; I will try this with the crostini, as directed, soon! I added approx. 1/2 tsp. of herbes de provence, as my 'herb' addition. I'm throwing this into my "Best of...." cookbook! That says aLOT! Thanks for sharing, keeney!
