Ingredients

• 1 Baguette
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 ounces Blue cheese
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 16 thin slices, about ½ inch thick each.

Step 3

Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Bake the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Flip them halfway through for even toasting.

Step 5

Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly, just enough to handle.

Step 6

Spread a small amount of blue cheese on each crostini—about ¼ ounce per slice.

Step 7

Drizzle honey lightly over the blue cheese on each crostini for a touch of sweetness.

Step 8

Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top as a garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately or at room temperature as a quick and easy appetizer.
