Herbed Chèvre Crostini: A Delightful No-Cook Snack

Ingredients

- 1 baguette, preferably day-old
- 8 oz. Trader Joe’s Chèvre with Fine Herbs (Parsley, Basil, Dill, Chervil, Tarragon, Chives)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Small handful of microgreens or arugula, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baguette:
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should get about 20 slices from a standard baguette.

2. Infuse Olive Oil:
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and peel the garlic clove. Rub the whole garlic clove over each slice of baguette to impart a hint of flavor. Discard the garlic clove after completing this step.

3. Dress the Crostini:
Lightly brush each baguette slice with the garlic-infused olive oil, ensuring coverage on both sides.

4. Spread the Chèvre:
Generously spread a layer of Trader Joe’s Chèvre with Fine Herbs on each slice. The creamy texture of the cheese should allow for smooth application.

5. Finish with Flavors:
Drizzle a delicate line of honey over the chèvre-covered crostini to balance the savory herbs with a touch of sweetness.

6. Garnish:
Add a few microgreens or arugula leaves atop each crostini for a crisp texture and fresh visual appeal. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

7. Serve Immediately:
Enjoy your Herbed Chèvre Crostini as a delightful and sophisticated snack.
