Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds, aiming for about 20-24 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, then brush each slice lightly with olive oil on one side.
Sprinkle the baguette slices with a small pinch of salt and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Let them cool slightly.
While the baguette slices cool, crumble or slice the Gorgonzola cheese into small pieces and set aside.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then chop coarsely.
To assemble, spread a small amount of Gorgonzola cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Drizzle a little honey over the cheese, about 1/4 teaspoon per slice.
Top each canape with a few pieces of chopped walnut and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves.
Finish with a light dusting of ground black pepper, and serve immediately.
