For the Holidays, I decided to create two crostini recipes. Here’s the first one: whipped goat cheese, sliced pear, honey, and pomegranate. These flavors are so festive!

Servings: 12 to 18 crostinis, depending on the size of the bread

Ingredients

• 1 small French baguette, sliced in ½ inch pieces
• Olive oil
• 4 onces of goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons of milk
• 2 pears, thinly sliced
• Honey
• Pomegranate seeds, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the oven rack in the middle position.
2. Lightly brush both sides of each slice of bread with olive oil.
3. Arrange the bread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Set aside.
5. In a large bowl, whisk the goat cheese and milk.
6. Spread the goat cheese on the toasted bread and top with the pear slices.
7. Drizzle with honey and top with pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately.
