Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into about 16 thin rounds, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Lay the slices on a baking sheet and brush each one lightly with olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the toasts are cooling, crumble the Gorgonzola cheese into small, manageable bits and set aside.
Pit and roughly chop the Kalamata olives, if they are not pre-pitted, then set aside.
Spread a small amount of Gorgonzola cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each toast with a few pieces of chopped Kalamata olives.
Sprinkle a few fresh thyme leaves over each toast, then add a light grind of cracked black pepper.
Drizzle each toast with a tiny amount of honey to balance the flavors.
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack while the toasts are still slightly warm.
