This little appetizer packs a punch! The sharp goat cheese blends well with the salty preserved lemons, the sweetness of the pomegranate seeds and the tartness of the pomegranate molasses. The mint gives it just a little flare!! They were gone from the plate pretty quickly!
Here’s how you do it:
Slice the baguette about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
Toast in the oven at 350 degrees until they are lightly brown, turning once. About 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
Using an immersion blender, whip the goat cheese until it’s light and spreadable.
Spread a little on each baguette toast.
Just before serving, top each slice of toast with a few pieces of chopped preserved lemon,
then drizzle with pomegranate molasses. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds
and chopped mint over the top.
Serve!
Note: If it sits too long the syrup will flatten out, as you see in the photo above. They aren’t as pretty but taste just as great!
