Goat Cheese Crostini with Walnuts and Honey

An easy holiday appetizer, this goat cheese crostini features walnuts, rosemary and a drizzle of honey.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 baguette
• 8 oz goat cheese
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup walnuts (pecan or hazelnuts (*you can chop or leave larger, or a bit of both))
• 1/2 Tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F. (regular bake setting/not fan assisted)
2. 2Toast the walnuts: Lay walnuts on a baking sheet. Roast in 350° F. oven, until they start to brown and you can smell the toasted nut scent, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
3. 3Cut eighteen 1/4-inch diagonal slices from baguette. Spread goat cheese on top of each slice. Arrange the pieces in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until edges of the bread are slightly golden and the cheese has softened, about 10-15 minutes.
4. 4While these are baking, chop the nuts and the rosemary and place honey in a small saucepan over low heat to warm (*You could also put into a glass container and microwave to warm).
5. 5When toasts are done, sprinkle with chopped walnuts (or place one larger piece) and then sprinkle with rosemary. Heat honey in small saucepan over medium heat until warm, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle toasts with walnuts, then rosemary. Place warmed honey in a small jar or bowl and serve with your toasts for guests to drizzle honey over before they eat.
