Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add all the shallots, season and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally until beginning to brown. Add the butter and transfer to the oven.
- Roast for 10 mins, then scoop out the sliced shallots and set aside. Roast the halved shallots for 10 mins more or until golden and caramelised. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, toast the baton slices. Spread a little of the goat's cheese over each slice, spoon over the caramelised shallots and top with the thyme leaves; season with black pepper. These crostini can be served warm or cold.
- Get ahead: Making these for Christmas? The shallots will keep forupto3daysin the fridge. Serve at room temperature.
