As of: 11 October 2026

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Rub the bread slices with the garlic clove and place them on the tray. Top each with a slice of cheese, brush with 1 tsp honey, drizzle with a little olive oil and bake on the middle shelf for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile whisk the oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper into a vinaigrette.
Mix the salad leaves, sprouts, raspberries and mushroom slices and divide among four plates.
Place the warm goat's cheese toasts on the salad, drizzle with the vinaigrette and, if you like, scatter with torn basil.

Drink with it

White wine · excellent match
Loire Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé)
The classic partner: grassy freshness and high acidity counter the creamy cheese and suit the vinaigrette.
Which wine pairs with food? A simple approach to choosing
Rosé · good match
Dry Provence rosé
Red berry fruit meets the raspberries, and the crisp acidity holds its own against the honey and cheese fat.
Sparkling wine · good match
Crémant de Loire, brut
Acidity and bubbles loosen the warm, melting cheese, and apple and yeast notes suit the toasted bread.
Sparkling wine, Champagne, and Prosecco: what's the difference?
Floral gin · good match
Floral gin in a gin and tonic
Floral and herbal notes in the gin suit the goat's cheese, and the tonic brings bitterness against the honey and raspberry.
Gin styles: London Dry, Old Tom, Navy Strength, and more
