Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, room temperature
4 blood oranges, divided
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Fresh lemon juice (optional)
18 1/2-inch-thick slices French or raisin baguette, toasted

Steps:

  • Place goat cheese in small bowl. Finely grate 1 teaspoon peel from 1 blood orange; stir peel into cheese.
  • Using vegetable peeler, remove peel (orange part only) in strips from remaining 3 oranges. Cut peel into 1/8- to 1/4-inch pieces and place in medium saucepan. Using small sharp knife, cut white pith from all 4 oranges. Working over another small bowl to catch juices, cut between orange membranes to release segments. Squeeze any remaining juice from membranes into bowl. Discard membranes. Coarsely chop orange segments and add to saucepan along with any juices. Add juices from bowl to saucepan. Stir in honey and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper. Bring to boil over medium-high heat and cook uncovered until thick and reduced to 1/2 cup, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Cool. Season with more ground black pepper to taste and with fresh lemon juice, if desired. DO AHEAD: Cheese and marmalade can be made 1 day ahead; cover separately and chill. Bring to room temperature before assembling crostini. Top toasted baguette slices with goat cheese, then marmalade. Place crostini on platter and serve.

I would make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less marmalade and I would brush the crostini with olive oil before baking.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I thought the crostini were a bit dry. I would recommend brushing them with olive oil before baking.

These crostini were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less marmalade next time.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I really enjoyed these crostini. The marmalade helped to balance out the flavor of the cheese.

I loved the combination of flavors and textures in this dish. The crostini were crispy, the goat cheese was creamy, and the marmalade was sweet and tangy.

I used a cranberry marmalade instead of blood orange and it was still delicious!

The blood orange and black pepper marmalade was a revelation! It had just the right amount of sweetness and spice.
