strawberry and goat cheese crostini with balsamic glaze
Ingredients
- 1 whole baguette sliced into 1/2 inch slices
- 4 oz fresh goat cheese plain and mild
- 1 cup strawberries diced into small pieces
- 1/2 or 1 teaspoon granulated sugar depending on tartness of berries
- Zest of one lemon optional
- balsamic glaze as desired
Instructions
- Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch pieces, drizzle each side with avocado oil.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, and toast the baguette slices,* flipping after getting slightly brown. Remove to a cooling wire rack. Then place on a parchment lined sheet pan.
- Spread goat cheese, about 1 teaspoon per slice (or whatever your preference!)
- Take the washed and diced strawberries and put in a bowl, mix gently with sugar and lemon zest.
- Place strawberry mixture on top of goat cheese covered crostini bread.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the pieces in long stretches, covering multiple crostini pieces in one fell swoop.
Notes
*alternatively, oven bake the crostini at 400F for 5 minutes or until lightly browned
