Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, yielding approximately 12 to 16 slices.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush both sides of each baguette slice lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5-7 minutes on one side, then flip and toast for an additional 3-5 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.
Meanwhile, slice the goat cheese log into thin rounds or crumble the cheese if it is too soft to slice.
Place a slice or a small heap of goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Return the topped baguette slices to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the goat cheese is warm and slightly softened.
Remove from the oven and drizzle each slice with honey.
Sprinkle with a pinch of fresh thyme or rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper for added flavor.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy!
