Honey and Goat Cheese Crostini

This is very simple and delicious.  You could make these as an appetizer, to compliment a salad or just to eat anytime.  

Preheat Oven to 475.

I use a multi-grain baguette (but you could use any kind of baguette).  

Slice the bread, you can cut it any thickness you would like, the thinner doesn't necessarily make it better.  Place each slice on a cookie sheet.

Put a layer of plain goat cheese on each slice of bread and make sure you cover the entire top of the bread because you don't want bread exposed or else it will burn once you put it in the oven.

Drizzle honey or even Agave Nectar over the goat cheese on the slices of bread

I didn't have any fresh herbs at my disposal, but normally I like to put a little fresh Thyme on each slice of bread.  Even though I didn't add any herbs to my crostini this time, they still tasted delicious.  






Put in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, it may require a little long depending on your oven.  Watch it to make sure the bread is getting warm and toasty, but not hard and over cooked.  

Then switch your oven to broil and let the crostinis broil until the cheese and honey start turning a little brown.  You don't want to burn the bread.

Take out and serve warm.  They are also delicious the next day after being in the refrigerator.
