I’m keeping pace with my summer Farmer’s Market challenge (in fact it’s the one thing I’ve marked off my summer bucket list – I need to tackle my summer reading list and some of our day-trips before summer slips away). So far I’ve made a charred summer vegetable salad, mixed in tons of fresh veggies in a farmer’s market pasta dish, and made use of those first summer tomatoes with a fresh bruschetta mixed with brine-y olives. The berries are starting to show up on the tables at our little Farmer’s Market and I had to scoop up some bright red strawberries to play with, and I ended up with a tasty strawberry goat cheese crostini recipe this week. 
Berry-picking also falls on my summer bucket list, so this won’t be the last time I make this easy crostini recipe over the course of the season. I decided to update a favorite crostini recipe that I’ve used at dozens of parties (inspired by a cute little Cape Cod restaurant’s tapas menu) – a goat cheese, thyme and honey crostini. I used the same three base ingredients and added these bright, sweet, thinly sliced strawberries on top. Some crushed walnuts got added on top for texture and stuck in the gooey local honey and rich creamy goat cheese. 
I served a small batch of these as an after-beach snack paired with a crisp glass of rosé when we had friends visiting over the Fourth of July holiday weekend and they were gobbled up quickly (to be fair though, I ate more than half the plate myself!). They take about 5 minutes to assemble, and are perfect for a cool summer snack when entertaining al fresco. Get the full recipe below!
