Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 1 baguette
- Local honey (having a squeeze bottle makes it easier)
- Sprigs of fresh rosemary
- Soft goat cheese (make sure it’s at room temperature)
Method:
- Start by lining a cookie sheet with parchment paper or using a Silpat sheet. This will ensure your crostini don’t stick and make for easy cleanup.
- Take your baguette and slice it into thin rounds. Lay out as many rounds as you can on the prepared cookie sheet. Don’t worry if they touch; it will all come together beautifully.
- Drizzle a moderate amount of honey over each baguette round. If you don’t have a squeeze bottle, simply use a knife to spread the honey evenly. The honey will add that delightful touch of sweetness to your crostini.
- Now, let’s add some herbaceous charm. Pull off all the leaves of rosemary from each sprig and place them in a cup. Using kitchen scissors, cut the rosemary in the cup until it’s fine. Alternatively, you can chop it on a cutting board with a knife. Sprinkle this finely chopped rosemary on top of each baguette round.
- For the creamy, tangy element, place a dollop (approximately 1 teaspoon) of soft goat cheese on top of each baguette round. You can use a knife to spread it over the honey and rosemary. Don’t worry if the ingredients blend in; the result will be delicious.
- Preheat your oven to Broil. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and keep the door slightly ajar. This step is crucial, so watch it closely. You want the cheese to start browning, which usually takes about 2-5 minutes, but it can vary. Be vigilant, like a hawk, and as soon as you see that beautiful browning, remove the crostinis from the oven.
- Serve your delectable Honey, Rosemary, and Goat Cheese Crostini immediately on a platter. They’re best enjoyed when they’re warm and inviting.
Note: This crostini recipe is incredibly flexible. Feel free to change up the cheese and herb depending on what you have on hand. Experiment with thyme, marjoram, brie, gouda, or any soft cheese of your choice. The options are endless, and the flavour combinations are always delightful.
Whether you’re preparing for a gathering or simply treating yourself to a flavourful snack, these crostinis are a surefire hit. Bon appétit!
