Hi friends! I have a new exciting recipe for you today. These honey whipped goat cheese crostini are a new date night favorite in our home and they are made with Bobʼs Red Mill Grain-Free Flatbread Mix. 

How’s your date night situation? Given the current times, I am sure you find yourself in a similar situation as me.

One of the things that have been difficult during this past year is finding time to date one’s partner. Especially when you are both working from home and have to juggle childcare and work from home duties. Or you are working as an essential employee and have to deal with the stress of protecting yourself and your family from a deadly virus. At the end of the day, you are exhausted and just want to binge-watch something that takes your mind of reality. Or is that just me?? 

Despite the times, we do need to pay attention and cultivate those relationships that matter. Those relationships get us through the hard times in particular. Date nights every few weeks is one way we do that. I’ve been using this time to perfect my at-home date night meal. I love appetizers and goat cheese so naturally, these goat cheese crostini were created! 

I love Bob’s Red Mill products. The quality of each of their grains and the ease of finding them at my local grocery store make them a staple in my pantry. I use their almond meal flour for all the macaron recipes you see on this blog.

I’ve been enjoying their gluten-free mixes recently and the new Grain-Free flatbread mix is one of my favorites for dinner. You don’t have to do anything (but add water!) to get yourself a perfect base for tasty pizza and yummy treats like these goat cheese crostini. It’s vegan, paleo, gluten-free, and perfect for those with allergies. 

Let’s talk about this goat cheese crostini, shall we?. They start with the flatbread as the base. It’s savory, crunchy, and toasted.

As a cheese lover, whipped goat cheese is one of my favorite things to spread on everything. It’s sweet, tangy and the perfect spread for snacks and cheeseboards.

This crostini can be topped with a variety of things after the goat cheese spread. I’ve done pears with walnuts (pictured), figs, or even peaches. These fruits all pair very well with goat cheese and the variety brings some fun to our low-key at-home date nights. 

I urge you to make an effort to bring back date night, even in a pandemic. We can carve some time out, make some treats (starting with this crostini!!), and enjoy time with our partners.
