Step 1

Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the heat source.

Step 2

Slice the rustic bread into 4 thick slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick.

Step 3

Lightly brush both sides of the bread with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.

Cut the apricots in half, remove the pits, and slice each half into thin wedges.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and goat cheese until smooth and spreadable.

Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.

Step 7

Arrange the apricot slices on top of the cheese, slightly overlapping them.

Drizzle each toast with honey and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 9

If using, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or slivered almonds over the top for added crunch.

Step 10

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 3–5 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and crisp, and the apricots are slightly caramelized.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the toasts cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
