Time 30m

Yield 20 pieces of cranberry and goat cheese crostini

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
20 store-bought crostini
1/4 cup canned whole-berry cranberry sauce or cranberry chutney

Steps:

  • Spread the goat cheese on the crostini, then top with the cranberry sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than dried cranberries, and they hold their shape better when baked. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the crostini: The crostini should be toasted, but not too browned. If they're overcooked, they'll be hard and difficult to eat.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese: The goat cheese should be creamy and spreadable. Avoid using goat cheese that is too firm or crumbly.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, can add a nice flavor to the crostini. Add them to the cranberry mixture before baking.

Conclusion:

Cranberry and goat cheese crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with just a few simple ingredients, and they can be ready in less than 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give these crostini a try.
