CROSTINI WITH RADISHES

Serves 4.

• 1/4 to 1/3 c. extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 small cloves garlic, minced or crushed

• 1 baguette, 2 to 3 inches in diameter

• 6 oz. fresh goat cheese (plain or herbed)

• 1 bunch radishes, cleaned and very thinly sliced

• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl and set aside.

Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch slices, and brush them lightly on one side with the olive oil-garlic mixture. Lay the slices flat on an ungreased baking tray, oiled side up, and bake on the center rack of the oven until the bread begins to get crisp but is still a little chewy (about 10 to 12 minutes).

Remove from the oven and let cool for about five minutes. Spread each piece with a small amount of goat cheese, and top artfully with radish slices. Grind on some black pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.
