Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Garlic clove
- 8 ounces Goat cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, yielding about 20 pieces, and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each baguette slice lightly with olive oil.
Step 4
Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Step 5
While the baguette slices are toasting, peel the garlic clove and cut it in half.
Step 6
Once the baguette slices are toasted, gently rub the cut side of the garlic clove over one side of each slice for a subtle garlic flavor.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the softened goat cheese with salt and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on the garlic-rubbed side of each toasted baguette slice.
Step 9
Top the goat cheese with a small spoonful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, evenly distributing them across the slices.
Step 10
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the crostini for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy!
