Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 thin rounds, approximately 1/2 inch thick each.
Brush each side of the baguette slices with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese to make it smooth and spreadable.
Spread about a tablespoon of mascarpone cheese onto each toasted baguette round.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the mascarpone layer on each piece.
Using a fine grater, shave the dark chocolate over the top of each appetizer for a touch of richness.
Optional: Garnish each piece with a small mint leaf for a fresh, aromatic touch.
Serve immediately alongside a fresh cup of coffee, and enjoy your elegant start to the day!
