Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice baguette into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch slices. You need 18 slices.
Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8 minutes, flip and bake for another 7 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, make the goat cheese spread. In a medium bowl, combine goat cheese, softened cream cheese and 1 tablespoon orange juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the crostini by spreading a heaping spoonful of the goat cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Spoon a small amount of Cranberry and Orange Sauce on top of the cheese layer. Garnish with chopped fresh mint and zest orange over each.
Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

Notes

You can make the goat cheese spread up to 3 days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Toasted baguette slices can be made earlier in the day and kept in an airtight container until ready to assemble.
