Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz of ciabatta bread cut into 6 slices
  • 6 zucchini blossoms
  • 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 oz goat cheese
  • 2 TBSP cream cheese
  • 2 TBSP Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 TBSP chopped fresh basil
  • 1 TSP lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP honey
  • Sprinkle of sea salt about 1/8 TSP

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Arrange the ciabatta slices on a baking sheet, then use 1 TBSP of olive oil to brush onto the top of each piece. Place in the oven and bake until lightly browned, 7-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prep the zucchini blossoms: If the flowers came attached to mini zucchini heads, chop those off and save them for another time. Also cut off the seedy parts in the heart of the blossoms.
  • In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, bread crumbs, basil and lemon juice. Mix until combined well.
  • Using a butter knife, delicately stuff each blossom with some of the goat cheese mixture.
  • Warm the remaining olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini blossoms, and sauté on each side until lightly browned.
  • Remove the ciabatta bread from the oven once toasted, and arrange on a serving platter. Once the zucchini blossoms are done cooking, use a spatula to move them atop the crostini slices on the platter.
  • Sprinkle sea salt and drizzle the honey on top. Enjoy immediately.
