Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should have about 16 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil using a pastry brush.
Bake the slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the crostini are baking, place the goat cheese in a small bowl. Use a fork to soften and mash it until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of goat cheese on each warm crostini.
Drizzle each crostini with a small amount of honey.
Sprinkle the crostini with fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and a light dusting of freshly ground black pepper.
