Ingredients
- 1
baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices
Olive oil, for drizzling
- 4 oz.
brie cheese, thinly sliced
- 3 Tbsp.
herbed cheese spread (such as Boursin, Rondelé or Alouette)
- 1/4 cup
prepared pesto
- 2 oz.
goat cheese
- 1/4 cup
cherry preserves
- 1/2 cup
grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup
pitted olives, such as kalamata
- 4 oz.
fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
Grated parmesan cheese, for topping
Small leaves basil, for topping
Directions
- Step 1Heat a griddle or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the bread slices with a little olive oil. Add as many slices to the pan as will fit in a single layer and cook on both sides until slightly crisp and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
- Step 2Now make different versions of crostini: Layer the brie slices, spread the herbed cheese, spoon the pesto and crumble the goat cheese on the toasts.
- Step 3And that’s just the beginning of the fun! Spoon cherry preserves on the brie version, lay a couple of tomato halves on the herbed cream cheese version, press a couple of olives into the goat cheese version, and for the pesto version, how about a cube of mozzarella with a little extra pesto on top? Yes, please!
- Step 4Back to the herbed cheese–tomato version: Just before serving, drizzle with a little olive oil and top with a little parmesan. For the pesto-mozzarella version, top with basil leaves to make it extra pretty!
