Ingredients
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 large baguette
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare the crostini.
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the baguette slices and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Step 4
While the crostini are baking, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, rosemary, and cracked black pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Remove the crostini from the oven and lightly rub one side of each slice with the clove of garlic while still warm. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Step 6
Transfer the goat cheese mixture to a serving dish or spread it directly onto the crostini for individual portions.

Drizzle the honey generously over the prepared goat cheese spread.
Step 8
Garnish the dish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation, if desired, and serve immediately.
