Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

36 slices (1/2-inch thick) baguette bread
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • 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 parsley, thyme, 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.
  • Do-Ahead Tip: The crostini and cheese mixture can each be prepared 2 days ahead. Store the crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate the cheese mixture. Let the cheese mixture stand at room temperature for 1 hour to soften slightly before spreading over the crostini.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality goat cheese: Look for a fresh, creamy goat cheese that is not too tangy. You can also use a blend of goat cheese and cream cheese for a milder flavor.
  • Soften the goat cheese: Bring the goat cheese to room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Use a food processor or stand mixer: A food processor or stand mixer will make it easy to beat the goat cheese until smooth and creamy. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can beat the goat cheese by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to goat cheese frosting, such as honey, lemon zest, orange zest, vanilla extract, or chopped nuts. Be careful not to add too much flavoring, or it will overpower the goat cheese.
  • Use goat cheese frosting immediately: Goat cheese frosting is best used immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it may lose some of its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts, such as cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and pies. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. If you are looking for a new and exciting frosting to try, goat cheese frosting is a great option.
