 4 oz goat cheese
 2 tbsp butter, divided
 12 small sage leaves, or 6 large sage leaves cut in half crosswise
 4 (1⁄2-inch-thick) slices sourdough
 12 (1⁄2-inch) squares of honeycomb
 Maldon sea salt, to taste
1

In a medium bowl, whip goat cheese with 1 tbsp. of butter, adding a splash of whole milk if needed to lighten the consistency.

2

Heat remaining 1 tbsp. butter in a saucepan over medium high, and fry sage leaves until crispy but not burnt, about 1 minute.

3

Toast the sourdough in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat.

4

Spread the whipped goat cheese on top of each toasted sourdough slice. Top with honeycomb, crispy sage, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Repeat with remaining slices, place on a platter, and serve.
