Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each slice of baguette lightly with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Toast for about 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Watch closely — no one likes a burnt crostini!
While the crostini cool, slice your strawberries thinly. Chop or tear your herbs for easy sprinkling. Let the goat cheese sit out to soften — it spreads easier and tastes richer at room temp.
Spread each toast with a generous smear of goat cheese. Top with 2–3 slices of strawberry, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of herbs. For a final flourish, drizzle with balsamic glaze or honey.
