How to make Asparagus and Goat Cheese Crostini with Lemon-Herb Drizzle
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds, yielding about 12-15 slices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 minced garlic clove. Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with the garlic oil mixture.
- Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the crostini toast, prepare the asparagus. Snap off the woody ends of the 8 oz bunch of asparagus. Cut the spears into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the asparagus pieces and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and bright green. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces of soft goat cheese, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- For the lemon-herb drizzle, whisk together 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, and a pinch of salt in a tiny bowl.
- To assemble the crostini, spread a generous spoonful of the seasoned goat cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Top the goat cheese with a few pieces of the sautéed asparagus.
- Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and lightly drizzle the lemon-herb mixture over the top of each one just before serving. Serve immediately.
