Grilled Nectarine & Goat Cheese Crostini

from Taste of Home magazine

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp. olive oil

12 slice French bread baguette (1/4 in. thick)

2 medium nectarines, halved

1/4 cup fresh goat cheese, softened

1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves, thinly sliced

Directions: 

1. In a small saucepan, bring vinegar to a boil; cook 10-15 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 3 Tbsp. Remove from heat.

2. Brush oil over both sides of baguette slices. Grill, uncovered over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Grill nectarines 45-60 seconds on each side or until tender and lightly browned. Cool slightly. 

3. Spread goat cheese over toasts. Cut nectarines into thick slices; arrange over cheese. Drizzle with balsamic syrup; sprinkle with basil. Serve immediately. 

**we didn't grill the nectarines. hubs sauteed them in a pan. 

**we didn't grill the bread either. i brushed olive oil on the tops and put in the oven
