Description

Ingredients

• 2 oz. cream cheese
• 8 oz. goat cheese
• salt and pepper to taste
• ⅓ cup honey
• 1 large sprig fresh rosemary
• 1 baguette, sliced (I used a multigrain baguette)
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 6 oz. fresh blackberries
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1 lime, zested (you wont need to juice the lime for this recipe, so use a microplane to shave off the zest and save the lime itself for later!)

Directions

• Crumble cream cheese and goat cheese into the bowl of a food processor. Blend for 10 seconds or so, then scrape down the sides of the bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Blend again for 10-20 seconds until cheese is creamy and well-blended.
• Scoop whipped goat cheese into a small bowl and set aside.
• Pour honey into a small saucepan.
• Roll the rosemary sprig around a bit with your hands or hit it a few times with the back of a knife to help it start releasing some of its flavor. Add rosemary to honey and stir to combine.
• Warm honey over very low heat - we dont want it to simmer at all! - for 10-15 minutes to help it absorb the rosemary flavor. Remove from heat and set aside to cool briefly while you prep the rest of the crostini ingredients.
• Lay baguette slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle bread with olive oil and bake at 375 degrees until bread is lightly toasted, about 4-7 minutes.
• When crostini is toasted, its time to assemble! Top each crostini with a bit of whipped goat cheese, then 1 or 2 blackberries. Sprinkle chopped basil and a pinch of lime zest over each crostini.
• Finally, use a small spoon to drizzle a bit of warm honey over each crostini. Serve immediately.
