Our Test Kitchens staff suggests that you microwave the goat cheese at MEDIUM for 1 minute to soften for easy spreading.

  • 2  teaspoons  red wine vinegar
  • 1  teaspoon  capers
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 3  ounces  goat cheese
  • 3  (2-ounce) slices sourdough bread, toasted
  • 9  (1/8-inch-thick) slices tomato

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté 4 minutes. Add mushroom caps, and sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Remove pan from heat. Stir in the vinegar, capers, salt, and black pepper.

Spread about 2 tablespoons cheese over each bread slice, and top each with 3 tomato slices and 2/3 cup mushroom mixture.

I forgot the tomatoes at the grocery store, and I didn't have any capers either but this recipe was DELICIOUS. Tangy goat cheese and salty red wine vinegar make for a great flavor combination. This is a great vegetarian option, and I would love to try it in the summer time when tomatoes are at their peak.02/02/09

I bought my grocieries online, and by mistake I ordered this gross brown Norwegian cheese instead of goat cheese. So I substituted low fat cream cheese, and it was awesome.05/04/05
