Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
- Place the baguette slices on the rack. Brush both side of the slices with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven until light brown and crispy, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then rub each slice with the whole clove of garlic.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large fry pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, crushed red pepper and thyme and cook for 1 minute. Add grapes and olives and cook, stirring, until heated through and grapes begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon goat cheese on each crostini. Top each with the grape and olive mixture. Transfer to serving platter and serve.
GOAT CHEESE AND OLIVE-SUNDRIED TOMATO CROSTINI
Steps:
- HERBED GOAT CHEESE SPREAD In the bowl of a food processor, process cream cheese and goat cheese together until creamy and well combined. Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, parsley, tarragon, dill, and chives; pulse until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer spread to a Ziplock bag for quick and easy assembly. Spread will keep, refrigerated, up to 3 days. SUNDRIED TOMATO AND OLIVE TAPENADE Using food processor, using on/off turns, finely chop olives and tomatoes (but don't puree). Add olive oil, capers and oregano. Blend to coarse puree. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Bring to room temp before serving. Skim extra oil before serving if there is a ton extra. Transfer spread to a Ziplock bag for quick and easy assembly. TOAST BAGUETTE AND ASSEMBLE Take goat cheese mixture out of the fridge and let it warm to room temperature (optional). Preheat oven to 350. Slice baguette into 1/2 inch slices and place on baking sheet. Brush the side up lightly with additional olive oil. Bake until golden 7-10 minutes. To make spreading easy, I keep both in Ziploc baggies and then just snip a little corner off the bottom to use like a pastry bag. Then you can just whip them out. Spread room temp goat cheese on toasts and top with room temp tapenade. You really don't want to toast these way ahead of time, best if made at the party. Enjoy!

OLIVE-CHEESE CROSTINI
If you love olives, you will LOVE this spread! This makes about 38-40 of the most delicious crostini appetizers, and they will be the first to vanish at you get together! Make certain to hand-squeeze out the excess moisture in the olives before using in this recipe. Small pumpernickel party slices also work well in place of the French baguette! I strongly suggest to chill the mixture for about 5 hours or even overnight to blend the flavors before topping on the bread, just warm very slightly for a few seconds in the microwave to make spreading easier. If you want lots of olive topping, then double the recipe but do not double the garlic amount!
