Ingredients

1/2 cup Girard's® Champagne Dressing

2 large nectarines, diced

1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

2 green onions, thinly sliced (both white and green parts)

1 jalapeño pepper, diced (and seeded if you like less heat)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped and divided

Coconut oil (or other neutral oil)

8 ounces goat cheese

8 thin slices of rustic bread

Directions

Step 1:

Heat 1 or 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (or other neutral oil) in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add green onions and jalapeño pepper and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 2:

Add nectarines, red bell peppers, and 1/4 cup of cilantro to the pan. Stir and toss until red bell pepper is crisp tender, about 2 minutes.

Step 3:

Pour in the 1/2 cup of Champagne dressing. The pan should be hot enough that it immediately starts boiling and sizzling. Allow to bubble and reduce for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until a syrupy consistency is reached.

Step 4:

While the dressing is reducing, toast bread and spread each slice with a generous layer of goat cheese.

Step 5:

Spoon the nectarine mixture on top of the goat cheese to create bruschetta. Serve with a sprinkle of the remaining cilantro.
