Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 16 thin slices, about ½ inch thick each.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Flip them halfway through for even toasting.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly, just enough to handle.
Spread a small amount of blue cheese on each crostini—about ¼ ounce per slice.
Drizzle honey lightly over the blue cheese on each crostini for a touch of sweetness.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately or at room temperature as a quick and easy appetizer.
