Goat Cheese Crostini with Rhubarb Chutney
These crostini feature toasted ciabatta or baguette slices topped with soft goat cheese and a spoonful of rhubarb chutney mixed with strawberries and ginger. The contrast of creamy cheese with the tangy and slightly sweet chutney, complemented by fresh strawberry and rosemary garnish, creates a balanced appetizer with both texture and fresh flavor notes.
Ingredients
- 8 lices ciabatta bread or baguette
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- 100 grams soft goat cheese 1/2 cup
- 3 tablespoons rhubarb chutney with strawberries and ginger
- 4 strawberries quartered
- 8 prings rosemary to garnish
Instructions
- Heat a frying pan with a lug of olive oil over medium heat. Toast the ciabatta slices for no more than 2 minutes on each side, until golden, trying not to overcrowd the pan. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Spread a thin layer of soft goat cheese over the crostini. Spread the rhubarb chutney on top, about 1 teaspoon per crostini.
- Garnish with 2 strawberry quarters and a sprig rosemary per crostini. Enjoy!
Notes
- Both ciabatta bread and baguette can be used interchangeably depending on preference or availability.
