Savory crostini topped with creamy goat cheese and spiced delicata squash.
Ingredients:
  • 1 loaf (20 inch) baguette French bread
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium delicata squash (1 lb), peeled
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 oz soft chèvre (goat) cheese
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened (from 8-oz package)
  • 3 tablespoons whipping cream
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Chopped roasted salted pistachio nuts
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the baguette into 40 (1/2-inch) slices and arrange them on baking sheets. Lightly brush the slices with 1 tablespoon of oil. Bake for 6 to 9 minutes until crisp. Allow them to cool completely.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise, discard the seeds, and then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Combine the squash and onion in a large bowl, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, sprinkle with garam masala, cumin, and salt, and toss to coat. Spread the mixture on a 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes, stir, and then bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until the vegetables are browned and tender.
  • Combine goat cheese, cream cheese, and cream in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture on each baguette slice. Top with a little less than 1 tablespoon of the squash mixture. Finish with a garnish of cilantro and pistachio nuts.
