# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 1 baguette, sliced into 16 half-inch pieces
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Cheese Spread
03 - 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
04 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
06 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
→ Hot Honey
07 - 1/4 cup honey
08 - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Arrange baguette slices on the prepared sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
03 - In a small bowl, combine softened goat cheese, cream cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and spreadable.
04 - In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm honey and red pepper flakes together for 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to infuse and allow flavors to blend.
05 - Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
06 - Drizzle each crostini generously with the infused hot honey.
07 - Top with fresh thyme or microgreens if desired. Serve immediately while crostini are still crisp.
