Goat Cheese, Pomegranate and Pistachio Crostini
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings8
Cook Time5 Minutes
Ingredients
5 tbsp Western Family olive oil
½ a standard baguette, cut into 8 ¼” slices
Pinch of sea salt
½ cup soft goat cheese
1 pomegranate
2-3 tbsp chopped Western Family pistachios
Torn mint leaves (optional)
Directions
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When shimmering hot, add the baguette slices in a single layer. Cook until the underside is golden (about 2 minutes) then flip over, sprinkle with sea salt, and use tongs to transfer to a plate (the second side won’t get as toasted). 
  2. Spread the nicely-toasted side of each crostini with 1 tbsp goat cheese, about 1 tsp pomegranate arils, and a scant teaspoon of chopped pistachios. Repeat with remaining baguette slices and scatter with mint leaves, if using.

Note: Serve within 1 hour for best results, so the bread stays crisp and the pomegranate juice doesn’t seep into the cheese.
