    Seaweed Snacks's Notes:

    I prefer broccolini over broccoli. I find it more tender, delicate and less pungent. Blanch for less than a minute for tender but crispy bright green stalks.

Makes 6 crostinis

  1. Mix chevre, tarragon, onion, chives, salt together in a bowl with a fork. Making a day ahead intensifies flavors. In a large pot of salted, boiling water, blanch broccolini for 1 minute. Remove and run under cold water. Coarsely chop and put in bowl. Top with pinch salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Lightly toast 6 pieces of sourdough, and smear chevre spread on. Top with broccolini making sure to include a small drizzle of olive oil too.

Just made this (I am commenting as I am eating) and it is excellent. Very easy to make as well.

I was thinking the cheese would be mascarpone, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it's chevre. This is so simple and lovely.
