Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 160 g goat cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- Fresh thyme leaves
- olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Slice the baguette into ½ inch thick pieces and place on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- While the baguette slices are toasting, pit the cherries and spread them on another baking sheet. Drizzle them with a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until the cherries are soft and slightly caramelised.
- Once the baguette slices are ready, spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each slice. Top with the roasted cherry halves, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkling of thyme leaves.
- Arrange the crostinis on a serving platter and serve immediately.
