Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces (about 12 slices)

8 oz goat cheese, softened to room temperature

2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons honey (preferably local)

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional for an extra layer of flavor)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Olive oil, for drizzling

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for your crostini.

    Prepare the Baguette: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle each slice lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up nicely.

      Toast the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the baguette slices for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp. Keep a close watch on them to avoid burning.

        Prepare the Toppings: While the bread is toasting, wash and slice your peaches, and set them aside. In a small bowl, combine the softened goat cheese with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper, mixing well to season.

          Assemble the Crostini: Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Using a butter knife or spatula, spread a generous layer of the seasoned goat cheese mixture on each slice.

            Top with Peaches: Place a few slices of fresh peach atop the goat cheese on each crostini. Drizzle honey over the peaches to enhance the sweetness and flavor.

              Finish with Garnish: If you like, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a hint of tanginess that complements the sweetness of the peaches. Top each crostini with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch and a splash of color.

                Serve: Arrange the finished crostini on a large serving platter and enjoy them warm or at room temperature for the best experience.
