Ingredients:

8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel

1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

30 thin slices french baguettes

12 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon

thinly peeled lemon peel strips from one lemon, cut into tiny slivers

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Mix first goat cheese, herbs, lemon zest, and black pepper in a small bowl to blend. Set aside. (The cheese mixture can be mixed a couple of days ahead of time.).
2. Brush oil over both sides of bread. Arrange bread in single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake until bread is just crisp, about 5 minutes on each side. (You can prepare the toasts a couple hours in advance.).
3. Spread cheese mixture over toasts. Top with salmon, trimming to fit. Garnish with lemon peel strips. Arrange on platter and serve.
