Strawberry & Goat Cheese Crostini
Serves: 16
 
Ingredients
  • 16 (1⁄4-inch-thick) baguette slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1⁄2 cup fresh strawberries, stemmed and chopped into 1⁄2-inch pieces
  • Garnish: chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Brush bread slices with a layer of olive oil. Place prepared bread slices, olive oil side up, on prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake until very lightly golden, approximately 5 minutes; increase oven temperature to broil. Broil until golden, approximately 1 1⁄2 to 2 minutes more, watching carefully. Let cool. Store crostini in a resealable plastic bag or in an airtight container and use within a day.
  4. In the work bowl of a food processor*, pulse together goat cheese and cream cheese until combined, scrap- ing down sides of bowl as needed. Add honey, salt, and white pepper. Process until light and fluffy.
  5. Spread approximately 2 teaspoons goat cheese mixture onto each crostini. Top each crostini with 1 teaspoon strawberries.
  6. Garnish with tarragon, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
*If a food processor isn’t available, use a mixer.
