Number Of Ingredients 7

16 (1/2-inch-think) diagonally cut French Baguette slices
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt
4 ounces good-quality goat cheese (Chévre)
16 to 24 canned or frozen black sweet cherries, drained, rinsed, and halved; or pitted fresh cherries, halved

  • To make the crostini, you can use any type of bread you like. Just make sure it's sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can toast the crostini in the oven or under the broiler.
  • To make the goat cheese mixture, you can use any type of goat cheese you like. Just make sure it's soft and spreadable.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme, to the goat cheese mixture for extra flavor.
  • Serve the bruschetta immediately after it's made, while the crostini are still warm and crispy.
