For me, this is summer on a slice of bread. August is national goat cheese month (no, I don’t know who decides these things), and what better way to enjoy chevre than by topping it with sweet, ripe, impossibly juicy peach slices? Mix in a little thyme and black pepper to keep things interesting, and you’re looking at a very special treat.
