For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

To prepare this savory dish, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast the slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

In a bowl, mix the goat cheese with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread a generous amount of the goat cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

Next, place a halved cherry tomato on top of each goat cheese-covered baguette. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Return the crostini to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm the tomatoes slightly.

Once out of the oven, garnish each crostini with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a burst of flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 550g, with around 12 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 45g, and there are roughly 80 calories per crostini.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some crushed pistachios over the crostini for an added crunch and nutty flavor.
