Time 30m

Yield 24 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 baguette cut in 1/2-inch diagonal slices (or 8 slices thick country-style bread cut into 3-by-3-inch slices 1/2-inch thick)
12 tablespoons black-olive paste
1/4 pound goat cheese, like Montrachet, at room temperature
1 cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
Chopped chives, parsley or basil to garnish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and bake them until lightly brown (about 10 minutes). The slices may be toasted under a broiler or over a grill instead.
Spread the slices with olive paste, then with goat cheese and tomatoes.
Preheat broiler. Broil crostini for about five minutes (just to melt the cheese). Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with chives, parsley or basil.
