These green olive and goat's cheese crostini are a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian appetiser, perfect for summer garden parties or as a light starter for a dinner party. The recipe brings together the salty punch of brine-cured olives with the creamy tang of soft goat's cheese, all brightened by fragrant orange zest and toasted fennel seeds. Using garlic chives adds a delicate savoury note that complements the fresh thyme without overpowering the other Mediterranean flavours.

As a versatile snack, this dish is ideal for those who enjoy homemade entertaining with minimal fuss. The olive topping can be prepared up to two days in advance, making it a stress-free option for busy hosts. Simply grill the baguette slices until golden and top with the cheese just before serving to ensure a delightful contrast between the crisp bread and the meltingly soft topping.

Ingredients for Green Olive and Goat Cheese Crostini

1 tesked fänkålsfrön
140g (lightly packed) chopped pitted imported brine-cured green olives
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic chives or 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel

How to make Green Olive and Goat Cheese Crostini

Toast fennel seeds in small skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, shaking skillet occasionally, about 1 minute. Transfer seeds to medium bowl. Add olives, 2 tablespoons oil, garlic chives, orange juice, thyme, and orange peel to bowl and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush both sides of bread slices with oil. Grill on 1 side until golden, about 1 minute. Turn bread over; immediately top each slice with 1 cheese round. Grill until bottoms are golden and cheese softens slightly, about 1 minute.

Transfer crostini to platter. Spoon olive mixture over and sprinkle with pepper.

Garlic chives, also known as Chinese chives, can be found at Asian markets.
