Valentine’s Day is on Thursday and I don’t know about you, but we are pretty excited over here. . . probably the most excited? My 5 year old daughter, Phoebe.  Her kindergarten class is, of course, having a little party and will be decorating cookies, playing games, enjoying some treats and collecting Valentine’s Day cards from her classmates. Could it get any better?

 

I actually love all the pink and red craziness that you see everywhere now. . Truth be told, I’m a sucker for the pink, red and white m&m’s. And I think I especially enjoy this holiday now because of my girls. .  I love seeing the holidays through their eyes. And because I am trying to channel my inner DIY craftsy-side more and more, I couldn’t resist sharing these Valentine’s Day img_33091-1

Green Olive, Goat Cheese and Basil Crostini

Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time15 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Course: Appetizer
Servings: 5 -6
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1/2 baguette sliced 1/2 inch thick and toasted
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil + more if needed split
  • Picholine Manzanilla or other green olives, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • Black kalamata olives chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/2- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic use however much you want
  • 3/4 cup soft goat cheese 6 ounces; soft goat cheese if preferred so it's easily spreadable but a little chunky works too (whatever you can find at the store and prefer)
  • about 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar + more if needed
  • 1/2 cup basil; torn for garnish

Instructions

  • To prepare the toasted baguette: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan on the stove over medium-high heat and place baguette pieces there. Toast until bread becomes golden brown; flip and toast both sides until crunchy.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the chopped olives, olive oil and garlic
  • Assemble: Spread each slice of toasted baguette with 2 teaspoons of the goat cheese, top with 1 tablespoon of the olive mixture, splash some balsamic vinegar over each one and top with the torn basil. Arrange the crostini on a platter and serve!
