COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Pomegranate Persimmon Crostini

  1. Preheat oven to 375º.
  2. Drizzle baguette slices with oil then salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until crispy (bread should still have a chew to it and not be super crunchy).
  3. Combine feta, cream cheese, cardamom, lemon juice, salt, ginger, and thyme in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to mix until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Remove pomegranate seeds from pomegranate. Set aside. Core the persimmon as you would a tomato, then using a spoon, scrape the fruit away from the inside of the skin. If your persimmon is ripe enough, the fruit should be a texture similar to jelly. Scoop out the fruit into a ramekin or small bowl. Set aside.
  5. To build crostini, slather a layer of whipped feta on top of a bread slice. Then top with pomegranate seeds, a small spoonful of persimmon, and fresh thyme. Enjoy!
