24 crostini

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and bake them until lightly brown (about 10 minutes). The slices may be toasted under a broiler or over a grill instead.
2. Spread the slices with olive paste, then with goat cheese and tomatoes.
3. Preheat broiler. Broil crostini for about five minutes (just to melt the cheese). Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with chives, parsley or basil.
