Goat Cheese & Balsamic-Honey Crostini

6 to 8 ounces young, fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup water
Few sprigs of favorite herbs, such as sage, basil, rosemary, thyme
3 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
12 slices baguette-type French bread, cut diagonally about 1/2-inch thick, toasted

In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Combine honey and water; bring to a boil. Add herb sprigs and reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for approximately 10 minutes until total amount of liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from heat.

Remove and discard herbs. Stir in balsamic vinegar and let cool.

Spread goat cheese thickly on toast. Drizzle with balsamic-honey syrup and serve.
