Description
A delicious appetizer made with toasted baguette slices topped with creamy goat cheese and warm balsamic blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Baguette (sliced into 1/2 inch rounds)
- 4 oz Goat cheese (at room temperature)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme (leaves only)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F with the rack in the center position.
- Slice the baguette into half-inch rounds and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the bread is crisp.
- While the bread toasts, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the balsamic vinegar and honey, swirl together, then add the blueberries. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the berries soften slightly but still hold their shape.
- Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let cool for one minute. Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each crostini.
- Spoon the warm balsamic blueberries over the goat cheese, dividing evenly among the crostini.
- Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries.
- This recipe can be made ahead of time by prepping the crostini and toppings separately and assembling them before serving.
