Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Toasts

We had "Steaksgiving III" last night with friends.  It's an event where 8 of us pitch in on appetizers and sides and the host purchases steaks; dry ages them and we all feast.  I offered to bring a couple of appetizers and a side dish.  The first appetizer was this salmon.  It was very tasty and pretty easy to throw together.  If you and your guests like salmon, this is a great app to try!  I found the recipe here.


Ingredients:
8 oz fresh soft goat cheese
1 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
2-1/2 tbsp olive oil
30 thin slices French baguette
12 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix goat cheese; herbs; lemon peel; pepper & olive oil.  This can be done in advance.
Brush olive oil on both sides of the bread slices and arrange on a cookie sheet.  Cook in oven for about 5 minutes or until the slices are getting toasted (You can prepare the slices a couple hours in advance)
Spread cheese mixture over the toasts and top with a slice of salmon.
