Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1 lb crusty baguette
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup raw walnut pieces
  • 5 ounces goat cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • Honey for drizzling (I used a few tablespoons)

Instruction

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Slice the baguette into 1/2" slices and arrange on a baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat both sides of each piece with olive oil. Sprinkle the tops with salt.
  • Arrange the walnuts in a single layer on a second baking sheet.
  • Once the oven is pre-heated, place the baguette slices and walnuts in the oven on separate racks.
  • Allow the walnuts to toast for 5-7 minutes, checking every minute or so, until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!
  • Remove the baguette slices after 15-20 minutes, or when crisped and golden.*
  • Allow the crostinis to rest until cool to the touch. Spread a thin layer of goat cheese over the top of each crostini, then top with walnuts and a drizzle of honey. Serve warm.
