Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 Apple (preferably Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 50 grams Walnuts (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 equal slices, about 1/2-inch thick.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Toast the slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crisp.
While the baguette slices are toasting, core and thinly slice the apple into half-moon shapes. Set aside.
Once the baguette is toasted, spread a generous layer of gorgonzola cheese on each slice while still warm.
Top each slice with 1-2 slices of apple.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the apple and cheese layer.
If desired, sprinkle crushed walnuts and a few fresh thyme leaves on top for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately while the bread is warm and enjoy!
