2 (1 inch thick) slices French bread, toasted

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed

4 ounces fresh goat cheese, softened

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, or to taste

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

6 fresh peach slices

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Place toast on prepared baking sheet and drizzle each side with about 1 teaspoon olive oil.

Stir goat cheese, thyme, pepper together in a bowl until soft and spreadable.

Spread cheese mixture on each piece of toast all the way to the edges so entire piece is covered.

Top each toast with 3 peach slices; drizzle remaining olive oil and sprinkle salt over the top.

Broil in the preheated oven until tops and edges are lightly browned and cheese and peaches are warmed through, about 2 minutes.
