Date & Walnut Goat’s Cheese Crostini
Introduction
Great for a starter but also serves with canapes by making small crostini’s cut out of sliced bread
Oven temperature
Pre-heat oven to 190°c fan 170°c – 375°f – Reg 5
Steps
Cut baguette in 1.5cm slices coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and seasonings.
Put coated slices onto a tray and cook for approx. 10 minutes – keep an eye on them so they do not overcook.
Chop walnuts and toast until golden (watch all the time so they do not burn).
Chop dates add toasted walnuts, balsamic oil & 1 tab of honey and mix.
Spread cheese onto toasted baguette and warm in oven.
Once cheese just started to melt take out add walnut mixture and drizzle each one with runny honey.
Cooks tips
To make the crostini’s more flavoursome add some herbs/garlic to the oil and coat
