Herbed Goat Cheese Crostini is an easy and elegant appetizer featuring toasted baguette slices topped with a flavorful mixture of creamy goat cheese, fresh herbs, and honey. Perfect for entertaining, these crostini combine crispy bread with a rich and aromatic spread that delights the palate.

Ingredients

Bread

  • 1 French baguette (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)

Cheese Mixture

  • 8 ounces goat cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Others

  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to prepare for toasting the baguette slices.
  2. Toast baguette slices: Arrange the sliced baguette rounds on a baking sheet and drizzle them lightly with olive oil. Toast in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
  3. Prepare cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened goat cheese with the chopped fresh herbs, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
  4. Assemble crostini: Spread a generous amount of the herbed goat cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Serve immediately: Serve the crostini promptly to enjoy the contrast of warm, crisp bread and creamy, flavorful topping as a delicious appetizer.

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, you can broil the crostini for 1-2 minutes after spreading the cheese, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Use a mix of fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs can be substituted but use about one-third the quantity.
  • If goat cheese is too soft, chill for 10 minutes before mixing to make spreading easier.
  • Honey can be substituted with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a different sweet and tangy note.
  • Leftover crostini can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 1 day but are best eaten fresh.
