Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds, aiming for about 20-24 slices.

Step 3

Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, then brush each slice lightly with olive oil on one side.

Step 4

Sprinkle the baguette slices with a small pinch of salt and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Let them cool slightly.

Step 5

While the baguette slices cool, crumble or slice the Gorgonzola cheese into small pieces and set aside.

Step 6

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then chop coarsely.

Step 7

To assemble, spread a small amount of Gorgonzola cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 8

Drizzle a little honey over the cheese, about 1/4 teaspoon per slice.

Step 9

Top each canape with a few pieces of chopped walnut and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves.

Step 10

Finish with a light dusting of ground black pepper, and serve immediately.
