Apricot cheese serrano baguette

Apricot cheese serrano baguette

A couple weeks ago my local Farmer’s Market opened up in town for the next couple of months. It had been YEARS since I went to one and I was itching at the bit to go for fresh vegetables, fruit and other local goods. As the summer progresses the produce will just populate and get better and better. Fresh produce and top quality foods just make everything taste better and it’s usually cheaper.

When I buy house plants or flowers I usually kill them within the first week or two. Not sure what I am doing wrong but they just don’t make no matter what I change up or google. Right now I’m super pumped to actually see that my garden is ALIVE and thriving and that any day I will be able to start picking fresh vegetables for my family. I’ve already got BIG ideas for next years garden and can’t wait to put it into action.

One of the best parts about farm markets are the people you meet and the small farmers and producers who show off their goods. Ewetopia dairy is a farm in California where two families work together to bring good quality cheese and soon to be butter to the market. There are two different types of Ewetopia cheese and they are Philosopher and Sirene.

For this apricot cheese serrano baguette recipe I used the Philosopher cheese and just crumbled it up for the topping. It’s recommended that the cheese sits at room temperature for 30 minutes before eating but either way you can’t go wrong with this cheese. Best part is if you have any left over crumbs just save them for your next salad.
