Ingredients
- 1 loaf French Baguette Bread Sliced 1/4" Thick
- 1/4 cup Garlic Infused Olive Oil (we use Lone Star Olive Ranch Brand)
- Pecorino-Romano Cheese Blend Finely Grated
- 4 ounces Montchevre Tomato Basil Creamy Goat Cheese
- 6 ounces Cream Cheese Softened
- 1/4 lb Boar's Head Spanish Dried Chorizo Diced
- Grape Tomatoes Diced
- 1 link Holmes Pecan Smoked Andouille Sausage
- 1 cup Terra Verde Fig Balsamic Vinegar
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese & Chopped Basil Optional
Servings: crostini
Instructions
- Crostini: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush baguette slices on both sides with olive oil and season lightly with salt & pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until crusty, approximately 10 - 15 minutes (depends on how dry the bread was initially and how close together they are on the baking sheet). Turn once about halfway through cooking, and dust with Pecorino-Romano Cheese Blend. Cool completely.
- Blend the softened goat cheese and cream cheese together until combined and smooth. Spread this over each crostini. Top with diced chorizo and tomatoes. Cook Andouille Sausage in a saucepan with a small amount of white wine or water, let it cool (so it doesn't cause the creamy cheese blend to melt), and then place a slice on each crostini. Drizzle with homemade Balsamic Vinegar Reduction (instructions below), and top with shredded mozzarella cheese and/or chopped basil, as desired.
- Homemade Balsamic Vinegar Reduction: Heat approximately one cup of balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium high heat. When it reaches a boil, reduce and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until it will coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, cool and use, or refrigerate in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!
