Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 10 Minutes
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.
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.
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.
While the dressing is reducing, toast bread and spread each slice with a generous layer of goat cheese.
Spoon the nectarine mixture on top of the goat cheese to create bruschetta. Serve with a sprinkle of the remaining cilantro.
