Olive Tapenade And Goat Cheese Crostini Recipes

OLIVE TAPENADE & GOATS CHEESE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven at 180 degree celsius & line the crostini on a baking dish.
• Mix together melted butter & garlic and spread this on the crostini on both sides. Bake the crostini for 7-8 minutes until they are completely toasted and golden brown in colour.
• In the meanwhile, prepare the goats cheese by adding honey to it. Mix well and keep aside.
• Crush the walnuts and keep them aside as well.
• Once the crostini has slightly cooled down, spread about 1/2 tsp of goats cheese and then top it with 1/2 tsp olive tapenade and some crushed walnuts. Garnish with thyme & serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange baguette slices on two large rimmed baking sheets; brush both sides with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
