Bangin’ Blueberry Pesto Goat Cheese Toasts
on baguette bread
Ingredients:
- 36 slices (1/2-inch thick) baguette bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 container of Bangin’ Blueberry Pesto
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
- Salt and coarsely ground multi-colored or black peppercorns
- 1/2 cup pitted Sicilian green olives or kalamata olives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
Directions:
Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Brush olive oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Blend the goat cheese and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Add the Blueberry Pesto and lemon peel. Using the on/off button, pulse just to blend. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread the cheese mixture over the crostini. Sprinkle with the olives, chives, and more pepper. Arrange the toasts on a platter and serve.
