Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should get around 16-18 slices from a standard baguette.
Brush both sides of baguette slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and set aside.
Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, and slice them into 1/2-inch wedges.
Brush the peach slices lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the baguette slices on the grill or grill pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
Next, grill the peach slices for about 2 minutes per side, until they are soft and have visible grill marks. Remove and set aside.
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of goat cheese on each grilled baguette slice.
Top the goat cheese with a slice of grilled peach.
Drizzle the crostini with honey and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
Garnish each crostini with a small fresh basil leaf.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
