6) Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Crostini

Toast the baguette slices until the edges are properly golden, not just warm. That extra crispness is what keeps them from going soft under the toppings during the drive. Cool them completely before you spread anything on them, otherwise the goat cheese melts right in.
