Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Blue cheese
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should have about 18-20 slices.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each baguette slice lightly with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 4
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through baking for even browning.
Step 5
While the baguette slices are toasting, crumble the blue cheese into small pieces and chop the walnuts into smaller pieces if needed.
Step 6
Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 7
Top each toasted baguette slice with a dollop of blue cheese, spreading it slightly to cover the surface.
Step 8
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the blue cheese on each crostini.
Step 9
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top of each crostini, followed by a tiny pinch of fresh thyme leaves.
Step 10
Season each crostini with a very light sprinkle of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 11
Serve the blue cheese crostini immediately, either warm or at room temperature.
