Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread baguette
- 200 grams Goat cheese
- 2 apples Tart apple (e.g., Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should have approximately 16 slices.
Brush one side of each bread slice lightly with olive oil and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the bread is toasting, core and thinly slice the tart apples. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture onto each toasted bread slice.
Top each slice with 1-2 apple slices.
Drizzle each appetizer with a small amount of honey for a touch of sweetness.
Arrange the finished appetizers on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of additional thyme leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
