Notes
- For the easiest to spread and smoothest texture use whipped goat cheese. Allow cheese to come to soften at room temperature and then use a hand mixer, stand mixer, or food processor to whip until smooth and creamy.
- This simple crostini recipe falls under a sweeter category thanks to the honey and dates. Other ideas for sweet crostini would be to swap out dates for flavors of strawberry, peach, pear, roasted grape, or apple.
- For a savory topping consider using thyme-infused or herbed cheese along with mushrooms and brown butter, pesto, tomato bruschetta, and/or prosciutto.
- Storage: These crostinis are best eaten the day made. If you do have leftovers you would like to store, you can do so in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. However, the bread will no longer be toasted and may become soggy.
