Ingredients
Method
- Bake Crispy Crostini: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp around the edges.
- Garlic Rub: While crostini are still hot from the oven, gently rub the cut side of a garlic clove across the top surface of each slice for subtle rustic aroma.
- Toast Walnuts: In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toss chopped walnuts for 3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Whip Goat Cheese: In a food processor or with a hand mixer, blend the room-temperature goat cheese, softened cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper for 2 minutes until light, fluffy, and cloud-like.
- Assemble Crostini: Generously spread or pipe 1 to 2 tablespoons of whipped goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Garnish & Drizzle: Scatter toasted walnuts over the goat cheese, drizzle generously with warm wildflower honey, sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and flaky sea salt, and serve immediately!
