- 1 baguette, cut into 24 slices about 1/4 inch thick
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- Truffle oil*
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Pepper, fresh-ground
-
Prepare crostini: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and bake for approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven and very lightly rub the toasted bread with the garlic clove. Allow to cool before adding toppings.
-
When ready to serve, spread each slice of toasted bread with a thin layer of goat cheese. Pour a small amount of truffle oil into a teaspoon and tilt the spoon to sprinkle 3 or 4 drops on each toast. Sprinkle pepper over the top and garnish with a few thyme leaves.
* Bottled truffle oil loses aroma over time as it is a truffle extract infusion. This delicate oil loses characteristic aroma quickly, so store in the refrigerator. If you are a truffle fanatic, like me, you will have no trouble using it before the aroma is weakened.
