Notes

Choose the Right Bread! Gluten free bread can be difficult to navigate. I love udi's gluten free baguettes, schars gluten free baguette or the trader joes one! A crusty, sturdy bread will hold up best with these toppings for the crostini appetizers.
Change up the toppings: You can change up the flavors and toppings every time you make this goat cheese crostini recipe. You can swap in another creamy cheese like feta or Gorgonzola, top with fresh figs or dates, or even use a different sauce drizzled on top. You can even add a different protein; A thin slice of prosciutto would go great on these gluten free crostini.
If you don't like gluten free bread and still want to make gluten free crostinis, you can use a slice of toasted sweet potato instead! The sweet potato toast base makes a great gluten free crostini too! A local restaurant does their goat cheese crostini on sweet potato slices and they are so delicious I order them every single time I go!
Use a dairy free cheese to make dairy free crostinis! You can use dairy free ricotta or dairy free cream cheese!
