Cheese & Dairy

Ingredients

baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
tablespoons olive oil
oz cream cheese, softened
tablespoons honey
1/4-Pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup dried cranberries and golden raisins
tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of sea salt

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush baguette slices with olive oil and bake for 8 minutes
minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with honey and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, toss the chopped nuts and dried fruit together to create the "trail mix" topping.
Spread a generous layer of the honey
cream cheese mixture onto each crostini.
Top with the trail mix blend and finish with a light drizzle of maple syrup before serving.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the mixed nuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before chopping; pair this sweet and savory bite with a crisp, slightly off-dry Riesling.
