Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 baguette, sliced
Toppings
- 8 oz goat cheese
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp honey
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for toasting the bread slices.
- Arrange the baguette slices. Place the sliced baguette pieces evenly on a baking sheet to ensure even toasting.
- Toast the bread. Bake the baguette slices for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden and crispy on the edges.
- Spread goat cheese. Once toasted, spread a generous amount of goat cheese on each slice while they are still warm for easy spreading.
- Add sliced strawberries. Top each goat cheese-covered crostini with fresh sliced strawberries for a juicy, sweet contrast.
- Drizzle honey. Lightly drizzle honey over the strawberries to add sweetness and enhance the flavors.
- Garnish with basil. Finish by placing fresh basil leaves on top for a herbal aroma and beautiful presentation.
Notes
- You can substitute the goat cheese with cream cheese for a milder flavor.
- For a nutty twist, sprinkle some chopped toasted walnuts on top before serving.
- Use day-old baguette for better toasting results and crunch.
- These crostini are best served fresh but can be prepared ahead by toasting bread and assembling just before serving.
