Servings 1 sliced baguette
Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette olive oil and garlic for brushing
Whipped Goat Cheese
- 300 gram plain goat cheese 1 log
- 1 tsp fresh diced thyme
- 1 tsp fresh diced oregano
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- 1 pinch sea salt & pepper
Hot Honey
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1-2 tsp red chilli flakes
- 1 tiny splash apple cider vinegar
- pinch sea salt
Honey Salted Walnuts
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1-2 tbsp honey until walnuts are well coated
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- tart by slicing your baguette and brushing it with olive oil and crushed garlic mixed together! Sprinkle with a little sea salt and place in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes! Until just toasted and a little golden!
- While that’s baking, prepare your walnuts by chopping them and adding them to a frying pan with the honey and sea salt! Toast on low/medium heat for about 10 minutes! Then allow them to cool completely- they will harden!
- Now prep your hot honey by adding all your ingredients together! And set those aside!
- Place your goat cheese in a bowl with your finely diced thyme and oregano, hot honey, & sea salt! Whip it in a food processor, blender or use a hand mixer! Whip until creamy and smooth it took me about 4 minutes with a hand held mixer!
- Place this in a piping bag and pipe onto the toasted crostini, top with the toasted salty walnuts, a drizzle of honey hot, garnish with fresh thyme or oregano! Enjoy!
