Honey-Salted Walnuts:

• ⅓ cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

Prepare the Crostini:

• Slice the baguette into even pieces and brush each side with olive oil and garlic.

Make the Honey-Salted Walnuts:

• Toast for about 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.

Mix the Hot Honey:

• In a small bowl, combine runny honey, red chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt. Mix well and set aside.

Whip the Goat Cheese:

• Place the goat cheese in a bowl along with finely chopped thyme, oregano, hot honey, and a pinch of sea salt.
• Use a food processor, blender, or hand mixer to whip the cheese until creamy and smooth (about 4 minutes).

Assemble the Crostini:

• Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a piping bag (or use a spoon) and pipe onto the toasted baguette slices.
• Top each crostini with honey-salted walnuts, a drizzle of hot honey, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme or oregano for garnish.
