Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook for 10-15 minutes or until soft and golden, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Stir in garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Cook stirring for 1 minute.

Step 3

Step 4

Add Redpath® Demerara Style Sugar to pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened; about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

For the crostini:

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Scatter bread slices in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Brush each side of bread with olive oil.

Step 3

Place in preheated oven and bake until golden; about 5 minutes per side.

For the assembly:

Step 1

Spread 1 tbsp (15 g) of tomato jam on each crostini, sprinkle with cheese, and serve.

Chef's Tip


*Plum tomatoes, with the seeds removed, can be used in place of cherry tomatoes.

*Mix together 1 (130 g) package of goats cheese with 2 tbsp (30 ml) milk, spread on baked crostini and top with tomato jam for an easy variation to the sweet treat.
