Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Garlic clove
- 8 ounces Goat cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 0.25 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, yielding about 20 pieces, and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each baguette slice lightly with olive oil.
Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crisp.
While the baguette slices are toasting, peel the garlic clove and cut it in half.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, gently rub the cut side of the garlic clove over one side of each slice for a subtle garlic flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the softened goat cheese with salt and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on the garlic-rubbed side of each toasted baguette slice.
Top the goat cheese with a small spoonful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, evenly distributing them across the slices.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the crostini for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
