Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rustic bread (e.g., sourdough or baguette)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Walnuts (optional, chopped and lightly toasted)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush both sides of each slice of bread with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread in the oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, crumble the blue cheese into smaller pieces for easier spreading.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and immediately spread or crumble the blue cheese onto each slice while still warm, allowing it to soften.
Drizzle each slice with honey for a touch of sweetness.
Sprinkle the toasted walnuts evenly across the toasts for added crunch, if using.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for a hint of herbal flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately while the toasts are still warm and enjoy!
