Ingredients

2 slices thick, good quality white bread (I use a crusty French loaf I slice myself!)
2 oz goat cheese (crumbled)
2 oz white cheddar (shredded (can also use shredded mozzarella))
2 tbsp liquid honey (divided in half)
3* tbsp butter (melted)
⅛ tsp red pepper flakes (more or less, to taste )

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium low heat WITH the red pepper flakes. This allows the butter to be infused with the spice from the flakes. Allow to cook for about five minutes, careful not to let it burn.Carefully transfer the melted butter to a small bowl. Set aside the pan for the grilled cheese - don't wash it!Use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to spread the butter on ONE side of BOTH slices of bread (you likely won't use all of this butter*).
Heat the pan again over medium heat. Arrange one slice of bread buttered-side down on the pan.Add the crumbled goat cheese** and shredded cheese** to the bread, and drizzle one tablespoon of honey overtop. Top this with the other piece of buttered bread, buttered side out to form the sandwich.
Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt. Cook until the bottom of each slice of bread is toasted and golden brown and the cheese is melted, likely 5-7 minutes.When done, drizzle the top of the sandwich with another tablespoon of honey. If some of your red pepper flakes stayed in the pan and not the sandwich, you can sprinkle more on before serving. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Ingredients

1 baguette (sliced)
2-3 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Pinch coarse sea salt (to taste)
8 oz. burrata cheese (divided)
Salt flakes (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
6 oz. blackberries (halved, as needed)
1/4 cup fresh mint (roughly chopped)
1 lemon (juiced)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Honey (for drizzle)

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Spread baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil (don't drench them, dry areas are ok) and sprinkle with salt as desired. Flip slices over and repeat so both sides are lightly covered with oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once toasted, remove from pan and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together mint, lemon, olive oil, and a pinch of salt (to taste).
Layer the following on top of each toasted crostini: 1-2 tablespoons of burrata, freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of salt flakes, 3-4 blackberries, a drizzle of the mint mixture, and a drizzle of honey. Top with additional mint leaves and salt flakes as desired. Serve immediately.
