Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 inch baguette (sliced into 1/2 slices)
  • 2 cloves large garlic (peeled)
  • 8 oz goat cheese
  • 1/3 c extra Virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 bunch (chives)
  • 5 leaves thyme sprigs (only)
  • Thyme blossoms for garnish (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste

Instruction

  • Add the goat cheese with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bowl of a mini food processor. Season with a pinch of sea salt and add the chives and thyme but reserving some for garnish. Process together until whipped, a couple of minutes.
  • Transfer the whipped goat cheese to the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Heat up a cast iron grill pan or griddle on medium high flame.
  • Slice the baguette into 3/4 inch slices. Add them to the hot grill pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side until nice charred grill marks form.
  • Use the garlic clove and rub one side of each of the grilled slices of bread to your liking. Gently brush with some olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Scoop some of the whipped goat cheese on top of each of the crostini and garnish with the reserved herbs. Serve promptly.
