Make lunchtime or snacktime the G.O.A.T with this easy, sweet, and savory Goat Cheese, Fig, and Prosciutto Sweet Potato Toast recipe! 


Sweet potato toast has become pretty trendy over the past few years.  So I thought it was about time that I tasted what this healthy trend was all about!  I’ve seriously been missing out, guys!  With fall just a few weeks away, sweet potatoes are going to show up on our plates a lot and sweet potato toast is bound to become a new favorite lunch or snack!  I mean, the topping possibilities are basically endless!  I’ve seen sweet potato toast topped with berries and nut butters, tomato and avocado, and all kinds of interesting combos.  They all look so good!

Plus, one sweet potato makes a lot of toast!  So you can keep switching up how you eat it throughout the week (keep raw slices wrapped up in the fridge until you’re ready to cook them).  This Goat Cheese, Fig, and Prosciutto Sweet Potato Toast turned out to be a pretty perfect lunch!  The sweet and salty combo of flavors is the best of both worlds!  As an Italian girl from Jersey, I’m no stranger to prosciutto and figs (figgettaboudit!).  This time of year, I cannot wait to find figs at my local markets!  Figs have a sweetness all their own that works so well with savory flavors – like prosciutto and goat cheese!



Under all of the sweet and salty goodness is a nice layer of Montchevre Goat Cheese!  Goat cheese is one of my absolute favorite types of cheese!  It’s creamy, salty, and mild in flavor.  We crumble it on top of our salads, mix it into our breakfast scrambles, and now I’m topping sweet potato toast with it! 

You can easily incorporate Montchevre Goat Cheese into your healthy lifestyle, which makes it perfect for sweet potato toast!  It’s made with quality goat’s milk that’s collected from local, independent family farms.  It’s high in protein, calcium, vitamin D, is rich in nutrients and vitamins, and contains less lactose!

Montchevre Goat Cheese is available in so many flavors, too!  I’ve never tried anything more adventurous than garlic and herb goat cheese before.  My fridge usually contains natural goat cheese.  Since I knew that I wanted to finish this sweet potato toast off with a drizzle of honey, I used Montchevre’s Honey Goat Cheese for this recipe.  The hint of sweetness is a nice balance to the tanginess of the goat cheese.

Sriracha Shrimp and Summer Veggie Flatbread

I received product from Cole & Mason in exchange for this post.  No other compensation has been received.  All opinions are 100% my own.

This Sriracha Shrimp and Summer Veggie Flatbread is packed with flavor, “summer heat,” and a ton of fresh, garden veggies!  It’s a delicious, light summer lunch!

 

When my father makes mussels in the summer, he always makes them with “summer heat.” That means that there’s just enough heat added to the dish without making you break into a sweat!  It’s summer.  You’re probably overheating already!  “Summer heat” is a nice heat that makes the tongue tingle, but doesn’t take away from any of the other flavors in the dish.  So when Cole & Mason sent me their Sriracha Spice Seasoning Mill Refill, I immediately thought about creating a recipe with a little of that “summer heat.” 

Mussels.  Been there, done that a few times.  I love them, but I’m giving shrimp the spotlight in this recipe.  I recently scored an awesome deal on shrimp from one of my favorite local fishmongers!  We’re talking enough shrimp to split into three or four plentiful two-serving portions!  So I decided to use some of our shrimp to make a Sriracha Shrimp and Summer Veggie Flatbread.  This flatbread has just the right amount of that “summer heat” and gives you a delicious reason to use up some of your garden bounty!


It was a slow start to gardening season this year, but our plants are really starting to burst now.  Especially the garden at my in-laws’ house!  It’s like having a free farmer’s market just a few minutes away!  Between our garden and their garden, I’ve been trying to add a ton of homegrown veggies into every meal. We definitely have enough eggplant, zucchini, onions, peppers, and tomatoes to do just that!

Another thing I tend to have stocked most of the time is flatbread.  I picked up a package of roasted garlic flatbread, just because, but wanted to use it for something more than just flatbread pizza. It was the perfect base for my summer veggies and adding Sriracha seasoned shrimp to the mix made it a tasty party!  This flatbread is definitely an excellent, light, summer lunch!

I have to admit that I wasn’t familiar with Cole & Mason’s seasonings before creating this post.  I’m glad so I was introduced to them!  I’m going to be putting this Sriracha Spice on a ton of dishes!  The seasonings are meant to be ground in a mill to release their natural flavors.  My mortar and pestle worked just as well!

Each of Cole & Mason’s spice blends are certified Kosher and made with quality ingredients.  Want to try one of these blends for yourself?  Enter this sweepstakes for your chance to win free product, housewares, or a grand prize worth $1000!
