Mix together goat cheese, parsley and garlic and top it on crusty French bread slices for a tasty appetizer. Broiling until the cheese just begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes, will enhance the flavor. Although these Tuscan-style toasts are delicious as they are. If you don’t broil the crostini, they can be made 15 to 20 minutes ahead.Chervil, a member of the parsley family, has a mild anise flavor; if you like, substitute an equal amount for the parsley. For a flavor boost, use roasted garlic if you have some on hand.
