Ingredients
Units
- quality sourdough bread - 2 thick slices
- goat cheese - 6 ounces
- fresh spring peas (shelled - 1 cup)
- Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
- lemon - 1
- small shallot - 1
- fresh dill (finely chopped - 2 teaspoons)
- prosciutto - 2-3 slices
- olive oil - 1 tablespoon
Instructions
CRISPY PROSCIUTTO
- Preheat oven to 400°. Place prosciutto slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, until crispy. Allow to cool on baking sheet and then break into shards or crumbles.
WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE SPREAD
- Add the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, the zest of half of a lemon and 1 1/2 teaspoons of dill to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whip together for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy, stopping the mixer to scrape the sides down a couple of times. Set aside.
BLANCH THE PEAS
- Bring a medium sized pot of water to boil. Add the shelled peas and cook for 1-2 minutes until just tender. Drain and immediately immerse the peas in an ice bath. Set aside.
FINISH THE PEAS
- Pour the olive oil into a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots and sauté for a few minutes until they are soft and translucent. Remove from heat and add the peas, and juice from the lemon. Toss to combine.
GRILL THE BREAD
- While you sauté the shallots, grill the bread on a rippin' hot and dry cast iron grill pan, cast iron skillet or in the oven on the broil setting to your toasty preference.
ASSEMBLE
- Top the grilled tartine slabs with the goat cheese spread, then crumbles of the crispy prosciutto shards, the pea mixture, a sprinkle of fresh chopped dill, lemon zest and pepper to taste.
Notes
Serve alfresco with a crisp glass of Rosé or Sauvignon Blanc.
