- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 150 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices to create approximately 12 pieces.
Place the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each slice of baguette with olive oil on one side.
Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
While the crostini are toasting, crumble the Gorgonzola cheese into small pieces and set aside.
Once the crostini are out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Top each crostini with a generous amount of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
Drizzle honey evenly over the Gorgonzola on each crostini.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper for added flavor.
