CROSTINI WITH SPICED CHEVRE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the baguette slices on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Toast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them after 7 minutes. They are done when they are golden and crispy.
- Put the cardamom, coriander, fennel seeds, paprika and salt on a plate or shallow dish and stir to combine. Roll the log of chevre in the spice mixture, making sure it is well coated. Slice the log thinly using a sharp knife or dental floss. Place a round of the coated chevre on each slice of baguette toast, and then put them back in the oven for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is warmed through.

Steps:
- Grilled Vegetable Antipasto:
- 1. Brush the grill grates lightly with the safflower oil. Prepare a hot fire on a gas or charcoal grill.
- 2. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and basil in a small bowl until well blended. Brush the zucchini, yellow squash, onion, red bell peppers, and scallions with the olive oil mixture. Place the vegetables on the hot grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3. Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup hot water, covered, about 5 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside. (Note: Eliminate this step if you are using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.)
- 4. Arrange the grilled vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced tomatoes on individual plates or a serving platter. Add a slice of chevre on the side of the vegetables. Drizzle the vegetables with the vinaigrette, and drizzle a little more vinaigrette around the place. Garnish with the parsley and basil. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve with crostini.
