Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

baguette or crusty bread
goat cheese
honey
fresh fruit (such as strawberries, figs, peaches, or blueberries)
fresh herbs (such as mint or thyme)
olive oil

Directions

I start by slicing the baguette into thin pieces and brushing them lightly with olive oil. I toast them in the oven or on a skillet until they are golden and crisp.

Once the bread is ready, I spread a layer of goat cheese over each slice. I top them with slices of fresh fruit, arranging them nicely for a colorful presentation.

I drizzle honey over the top and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor and freshness.

I serve them immediately while the bread is still crisp and the toppings are fresh.

Servings and timing

I usually get about 6–8 servings as an appetizer from this recipe.
Preparation time takes around 10 minutes, and cooking time is about 10 minutes, so the total time is roughly 20 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch. When I want a savory twist, I include a drizzle of balsamic glaze. I also like experimenting with different cheeses such as ricotta or cream cheese.

storage/reheating

I prefer serving these crostini fresh, but I can store the toasted bread separately in an airtight container for up to 2 days. I assemble them just before serving to keep the texture crisp. Goat Cheese, Honey, & Fruit Crostini
