Peach, caramelized onion & goat cheese crostini
SKILL LEVEL :
Easy but takes some timeWhat to do with one perfectly ripe peach?
We are nearing the end of peach season and my family can't get enough of them. I keep buying bags of peaches thinking I will make a peach crumble, but sometime between coming home from the market and when I finally get around to making the crumble they disappear. So sadly, no peach crumble yet this season.
If you can't seem to keep enough ripe peaches on hand for a crumble, this is the perfect answer for what to do with one perfectly ripe peach.

Make ahead
The caramelized onions can be made a day or two in advance and the goat cheese, honey and rosemary mixture can also be mixed ahead of time. When you mash the goat cheese and honey together don't completely mix it. Instead go for veins of honey running through the cheese. This way your tongue can differentiate between the tart goat cheese and sweet honey in every bite.
