I was sampling our nut butters to a wonderful group of folks vacationing on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. This woman kept asking how to serve our products -- and that she loved crostinis. She kept talking about crostinis. In addition to the Cashew-Strawberry Crostinis, this recipe is what I also recommended for her to make.
Top it with a schmear of nut butter, a few dots of goat cheese, some thyme, and balsamic. You and your guests will love it.
It takes 5 min to throw together, and you can't mess it up. Wow your guests. Keep them coming back. Or have a larger savory toast for yourself. :)
Ingredients
-
1 baguette, cut into ¼”+ thick slices (Substitute crackers)
-
"Maple Bliss" - Maple, Walnut and Pecan Nut Butter
-
Goat cheese (See vegan swaps below)
-
Fresh thyme and/or rosemary
-
Balsamic vinegar
Directions
Slice baguette into ¼”+ slices
OPTIONAL: Toast slices in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes OR use a toaster
Spread with a layer of nut butter to the edges of the bread
Distribute crumbles of goat cheese across the bread
Sprinkle with fresh thyme. If using rosemary, finely mince first.
Drizzle with balsamic and serve!
Recipe Note
Vegan swaps for goat cheese
- Vegan goat cheese: see this 5-star recipe - it's a bit of work but might be worth trying
- Vegan cream cheese: use dots of cream cheese instead
- Diced avocado: although not cheesy, it's creamy and will go great with herbs and balsamic
- Tofu feta: Crumbled tofu marinated in vinegar and herbs makes a great substitute for crumbled goat cheese
