Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal to create approximately 16 pieces.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 6–8 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
While the baguette toasts, place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and rough chop the toasted walnuts.
Once the baguette slices have cooled slightly, spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each slice.
Top each crostini with a sprinkle of toasted walnuts and dried cranberries.
Drizzle honey over the assembled crostini for a touch of sweetness.
Season each crostini with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Optionally, garnish with small sprigs of fresh rosemary for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
