Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon green peppercorns, drained
1/2 cup Lemon-Mustard-Tarragon Vinaigrette, recipe follows
1 1/2 pounds medium-thick asparagus, trimmed
Olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sixteen 1-inch-thick slices Italian or French bread
Canola oil, for brushing
4 ounces goat cheese, optional
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon clover honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil or canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high.
  • Whisk the green peppercorns into the vinaigrette. Set aside.
  • Brush the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on all sides and crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes total. Remove from the grill, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces, and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
  • Brush the bread on one side with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, oiled-side down, until light golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute. Flip, and grill a few seconds more, just enough to warm¿the bread should still be tender when pressed.
  • Top the toasted bread with some asparagus. Scatter the goat cheese, if using, on top and serve immediately.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, mustard, tarragon, honey, and a little salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.

I made these crostini for my vegan friend, and she loved them! The green peppercorn-tarragon vinaigrette is especially delicious.

These crostini were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try grilling the asparagus next time instead of roasting it.

The crostini were good, but the green peppercorn-tarragon vinaigrette was a bit overpowering. I think I'll try making it with a different vinaigrette next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, or maybe some additional herbs.

These crostini were a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were very well made.
