The nice thing about Goat Cheese Crostini is you can it by itself as an appetizer, or pair it with a delicious salad to make it more of a side dish or meal. This kind of cheese likes to have other flavors mixed in, so don't be shy, use your imagination. All kinds of herbs work well. This is a great recipe for a Mother's Day brunch, but you can also serve it as finger food at a cocktail party.
