BAKED GOAT CHEESE WITH OLIVE TAPENADE AND CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice baguette up into thin rounds and lay out on a roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake in the oven for about 7-8 minutes until golden brown then set aside.
• Place the whole log of goat cheese in the oven, depending on the shape you may choose to cut the log in half, and bake for 5-7 minutes until it is warm through and just starting to melt.
• Serve warm goat cheese with crostini and fresh olive tapenade.

OLIVE TAPENADE AND GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI

GRAPE AND OLIVE GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Place the baguette slices on the rack. Brush both side of the slices with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven until light brown and crispy, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then rub each slice with the whole clove of garlic.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large fry pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, crushed red pepper and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add grapes and olives and cook, stirring, until heated through and grapes begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spread about 1 tablespoon goat cheese on each crostini. Top each with the grape and olive mixture. Transfer to serving platter and serve.

• Delicious!

• Preheat broiler. Broil crostini for about five minutes (just to melt the cheese). Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with chives, parsley or basil.
