Strawberry and Goat Cheese Crostini

Servings 12
Strawberry and Goat Cheese Crostini on a white plate with a pink napkin and one 3 ounce jar of honey and covered in strawberries and edible garnishes.

Overview

We’ve created the perfect warm-weather appetizer that’s both easy and impressive. A honey balsamic drizzle brings out the sweetness of ripe red strawberries and complements tangy goat cheese. A garnish of basil leaves and edible flowers make these entertaining-worthy. 

Instructions

1. Wash Up!

2. Toast the bread: Preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Coat with cooking spray. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Turn the slices over and coat with more cooking spray. Broil for another 1 to 2 minutes or until toasted.

3. Make the honey-balsamic drizzle: Whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.

4. Finish the crostini: Spread the goat cheese evenly on one side of each crostini. Top evenly with strawberries.

To Serve: Transfer the crostini to a serving platter. Drizzle with the honey balsamic and extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with basil and edible flowers. Drizzle with more honey. Serve immediately.

Pro Tip: The honey-balsamic drizzle can also double as an easy salad dressing.
