Roasted Pepper And Goat Cheese Crostini - A Clean & Delicious® Party Recipe

goat cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Feta provides a tangy flavor similar to goat cheese, while cream cheese is more budget-friendly.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Red wine vinegar offers a similar acidity, and apple cider vinegar is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Slice the mini loaf of sourdough bread into 1/2-inch thick slices, yielding about 10 pieces.

Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.

Rub a whole clove of garlic on top of each warm toast to infuse garlic flavor and add moisture.

In a bowl, let 4 oz of goat cheese come to room temperature for easier spreading.

Drain and slice the contents of a 12 oz jar of roasted peppers into thin strips.

Add 1 clove of minced garlic to the bowl with the goat cheese.

Mix in 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and 1 oz (about 2 tablespoons) of chopped walnuts into the goat cheese mixture.

Combine all the ingredients in the bowl until well mixed.

Assemble the crostini by spreading a thin layer of the goat cheese mixture on each garlic toast, then top with a dollop of roasted pepper strips.

Place the assembled crostini on a serving plate and garnish with extra parsley.
