Servings: 16 crostini
Calories: 89kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette sliced into ½-inch rounds (about 16 slices)
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 oz Goat Cheese
- 2 large Onions yellow, red, or shallots
- 2 cloves Garlic halved
- 1 teaspoon Thyme fresh, or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Butter optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 30–35 minutes, until onions are deeply golden and soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice. Top with a spoonful of the warm mushrooms.
- Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with fresh thyme or chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Let the goat cheese come to room temperature for easier spreading.
- Don’t rush the onions—slow cooking brings out their natural sweetness.
