Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 large baguette
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare the crostini.
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the baguette slices and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, until golden and crisp.
While the crostini are baking, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, rosemary, and cracked black pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Remove the crostini from the oven and lightly rub one side of each slice with the clove of garlic while still warm. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Transfer the goat cheese mixture to a serving dish or spread it directly onto the crostini for individual portions.
Drizzle the honey generously over the prepared goat cheese spread.
Garnish the dish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation, if desired, and serve immediately.
