Ingredients
  

For the Bread Base
  • 1 Baguette Baguette A crisp and slightly chewy base that provides the perfect crunch; substitute with any crusty bread if desired.
For the Toppings
  • 8 oz Goat Cheese Offers a creamy and tangy flavor that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the compote; substitute with ricotta for a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Blueberry or Black Currant Compote Adds bursts of sweetness and tartness; can use store-bought or homemade, adjusting sweetness to preference.
  • 1 cup Roasted Red Peppers Introduces a mild sweetness and slight smokiness; freshly roasted enhances flavor, but jarred peppers can save time.
