- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush baguette slices with oil on both sides, sprinkle with salt and bake for 10 minutes, turning once. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, add goat cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Notes
Make ahead: Prepare goat cheese mixture and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in advance. Just give it a stir when ready to use.
You can also bake crostini toasts for up to 3 days in advance. Just make sure to cool completely, then seal in an airtight container or bag and store in a cool dry place. Do not seal warm crostinis as they will become soggy.
Store leftovers: Cover with plastic wrap on a serving tray and refrigerate for up to 2 days. I did that and honestly they did not become very soggy if at all. For guests, of course, fresh is best!
