Peach & Goat Cheese Balsamic Crostini 🍑🧀✨
The combination of sweet peaches, creamy goat cheese, and tangy balsamic glaze on crispy crostini is a flavor explosion that’s perfect for any gathering. 🌿🍷
Ingredients:
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces goat cheese, softened
2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons honey
Fresh thyme leaves
Balsamic glaze
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Crostini:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Flip halfway through for even toasting.
Prepare the Toppings:
While the crostini are baking, slice the peaches and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the softened goat cheese with a drizzle of honey. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble the Crostini:
Spread a generous layer of the honey-goat cheese mixture on each toasted baguette slice.
Top with a few slices of fresh peaches.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves for garnish.
Serve:
Arrange the crostini on a serving platter.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
Tips:
Make Ahead: Prepare the crostini and goat cheese mixture ahead of time. Assemble just before serving to keep the bread crisp.
Customization: Add a slice of prosciutto for a savory twist or use different fruits like figs or strawberries.
Balsamic Glaze: Store-bought balsamic glaze works perfectly, but you can also make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar until it’s thick and syrupy.
Enjoy these Peach & Goat Cheese Balsamic Crostini as a stunning appetizer or a refreshing snack, perfect for any occasion! 🍑🧀✨
