These sweet toasts are perfect for tea parties. Think of them as Strawberry Goat Cheese Bruschetta. The tang of the goat cheese is so good with a sweet strawberries and the slight sharpness of balsamic vinegar. They're flavors that work so well in this Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad
I love serving them during get-togethers. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover goat cheese.
The colours of red, white and blue from the cheese and fruit makes this a great recipe for the 4th of July or British events such as Royal jubilees!

Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini Ingredients
Full ingredients with measurements are available in the recipe card below at the end of this post
Strawberries - fresh strawberries that are seasonal are best. Cut into quarters
Blueberries
Goats Cheese - you need to use soft goat cheese or use whipped goat cheese dip.
Pistachio - optional. Alternatively, use almonds, pecans or whichever nuts you like. You can also omit nuts completely
Bread or baguette - find them in the bakery section of the supermarket. At home cut into slices.
Balsamic vinegar - the acidity in the vinegar helps cut through the cheese, alternatively use balsamic glaze
Maple syrup alternatively use honey
Salt and black pepper
Olive oil
Variations
Other berries such as blackberries or raspberries
Optionally garnish with fresh herbs such as fresh mint or fresh basil or thyme
Use other cheeses such as feta cheese, cream cheese, mascarpone or ricotta
How to make Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini
Slice a baguette or any other crusty bread into thin slices, about ¼ to ½ inch slices. You can also brush the slices with olive oil or melted butter for added flavour.
Preheat oven to gas mark 6.
Place baguette slices on a baking tray, drizzle olive oil on it and bake it for 3-4 minutes on both sides.
Or use your cast iron griddle to charr the crostini.
How to make Air Fryer Crostini
- Preheat your air fryer to a temperature of 380°F (190°C)
- Place the bread slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the crostini for about 4 minutes. Check them halfway through and give the basket a shake or flip the crostini to ensure even browning.
- Keep an eye on the crostini as they cook to prevent burning. Air fryers may vary in cooking time, so adjust as needed. The crostini should turn golden brown and become crispy.
Assemble
Meanwhile combine goat cheese, salt and black pepper.
Once bread slices are toasted, remove it on a serving dish.
Spread the goat cheese mixture, arrange the berries and sprinkle pistachio slivers.
Drizzle some balsamic vinegar and maple syrup and garnish it with mint or basil leaves.
Serve straight away.
Storage
Crostini are best served immediately or else they loose their crispy texture.
However, you can store any leftovers in the fridge for a day.

You can use ricotta or feta cheese.

We spend Summers at our Lakehouse and we always get a late start. This fruit filled toast, with the goat cheese is great because its healthy, and will fill me up, but not stuff me to be able to get out on the boat! Your photos are stunning by the way!
We also take the strawberry tops and make syrup out of them - that's where the most intense strawberry flavour is.
These look so pretty and delicious! What a great flavour combination!
These are beautiful! Love this combo of berries, cheese, pistachios and some vinegar! Yum!
