Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Arrange the bread slices on two heavy baking sheets. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
Stir the herbs, lemon zest, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl to blend.
Using about 2 teaspoons of cheese for each, form the goat cheese into 1-inch diameter balls.
Roll the cheese balls in the herb mixture to coat completely.
Arrange the cheese balls on a platter.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over and around the cheese balls.
Serve with the crostini. Garnish with herb sprigs.
Recipe Notes:
The crostini and cheese balls can be prepared a day ahead. Store the crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate the cheese balls.
