A quick and elegant appetizer, goat cheese and pistachio bruschetta combines creamy goat cheese, crunchy pistachios, and a drizzle of honey on toasted baguette slices. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or a simple snack, this recipe balances sweet and savory flavors beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 French baguette, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp honey, agave, or balsamic glaze
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., thyme, basil, or microgreens) for garnish

Instructions

  • Prep the Bread:
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Toast in the oven for 8–10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Spread the Cheese:
    Allow goat cheese to soften at room temperature. Spread a generous layer on each toasted baguette slice using a warm knife.
  • Add Pistachios:
    Sprinkle finely chopped pistachios evenly over the goat cheese, pressing gently to help them adhere.
  • Drizzle and Garnish:
    Drizzle honey, agave, or balsamic glaze over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs or microgreens for a vibrant finish.

Notes

  • To save time, prepare the goat cheese mixture (blend goat cheese with olive oil) and chop pistachios in advance.
  • Assemble just before serving to maintain crispness.
  • Experiment with toppings: Try fig jam, caramelized onions, or a pinch of chili flakes for variation.
