Equipment
- 1 small food processor
Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 ounces goat cheese
- ½ - ¾ cup fig jam
- ½ Granny Smith apple thinly sliced and cut into small pieces
- hot honey
- 2 tablespoons walnuts finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Finely chop the walnuts and set aside. Thinly slice the apple, then cut each slice into smaller pieces that will fit nicely on the crostini and set aside.
- Add the goat cheese, 1 ½ teaspoons of olive oil and salt to a small food processor. Blend until creamy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides once or twice.
- Slice the baguette into ½ inch slices, approximately 24 slices. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a very small bowl and use a pastry brush to lightly brush both sides of the baguette slices.
- Place the baguette slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges are lightly browned and the surfaces are crisp.
- Allow the toasted bread to cool.
- Spread a thin layer of goat cheese and then a thin layer of fig jam on each slice. Top with a layer of apple pieces.
- Lightly drizzle hot honey over the apple slices and then sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top.
- Arrange the finished crostini on a serving plate and enjoy!
