Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Blue cheese
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should have about 18-20 slices.
Brush both sides of each baguette slice lightly with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through baking for even browning.
While the baguette slices are toasting, crumble the blue cheese into small pieces and chop the walnuts into smaller pieces if needed.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a dollop of blue cheese, spreading it slightly to cover the surface.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the blue cheese on each crostini.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top of each crostini, followed by a tiny pinch of fresh thyme leaves.
Season each crostini with a very light sprinkle of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Serve the blue cheese crostini immediately, either warm or at room temperature.
