Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 ounces Goat cheese
- 0.5 cup Fig jam
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, approximately 16 pieces.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Sprinkle the slices with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
Toast the slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crostini to cool slightly.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of goat cheese on each crostini.
Top each crostini with a small dollop (approximately 1 teaspoon) of fig jam.
If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and/or chopped walnuts or pecans on top of the fig jam for extra flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
