Ingredients
- 1 lb crusty baguette
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup raw walnut pieces
- 5 ounces goat cheese softened to room temperature
- 5 tbsp honey for drizzling - use a little more or less based on your preference of sweetness
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).
- Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch 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. If your oven has hot spots you may want to rotate the baguette pan halfway through the baking time.
- 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.
