Description

Ingredients

• 1 (1 lb) crusty baguette
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup raw walnut pieces
• 5 ounces goat cheese, softened to room temperature
• Honey for drizzling (I used a few tablespoons)

Directions

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slice the baguette into 1/2 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.*
• 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.
