Pistachio Chèvre Crostini

pistagechevrecrostini

I'm always on the lookout for quick little appetizers to serve to my guests while I'm finishing up in the kitchen. I found this recipe via Tastespotting, and immediately knew it'd be perfect. I adore chèvre cheese, and while I like all sorts of nuts, pistachios are some of my favorites.

I used ready-bought crostini, but you could certainly make your own from day-old baguettes. (Drizzle with oil, and toast in the oven.)

200 g chèvre cheese
3-4 tbsp crea
salt
black pepper
100 g pistachios (unsalted)
20 crostini (or toasted baguette slices)

Set aside 20 pistachios for decoration. Chop the rest, and mix with the cheese and the cream to a nice spreadable consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Spread on crostini, and top with the reserved whole pistachios.
