Ingredients

24 servings

1 baguette (sliced into 1/2” thick diagonal slices)
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
2 cups cherry tomatoes ((12 oz) quartered)
2 Tbsp basil (chopped)
1 g arlic clove (minced or squeezed with a garlic press)
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 oz goat cheese (Boursin Cheese, or cream cheese)
2 Tbsp balsamic glaze (to drizzle*, homemade or storebought)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 ̊F with a rack in the center of the oven. Using a serrated knife, slice the baguette into 1/2” thick slices, cutting them diagonally (or on the bias).
Arrange toasts on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush both sides with extra virgin olive oil, about 3 Tbsp for 1 baguette. Bake the toast for 7 to 10 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.* Remove them from the oven and cool to room temperature.
While the toasts are in the oven, make your tomato topping. In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss gently to combine.
Once the toasts are cooled to room temperature, spread the goat cheese or your desired cheese over the tops of your toasts then add your tomato topping. Set the crostini on a serving platter and drizzle the tops with balsamic glaze
