Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 150-250 g black pepper goat cheese or cracked pepper Boursin cheese remove from fridge 10-15 minutes before serving to soften
  • 2 cups sliced plums about 3-6 medium plums (1/2 inch slices)
  • 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • pinch ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp slivered almonds
  • Fresh thyme for garnish
  • 12-16 slices baguette

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375F.
  2. Add sliced plums to a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet or baking dish along with balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. Stir together and then roast for 15-20 minutes until tender. Set aside to cool. Leave the oven on.
  3. While the plums are cooling, prepare the crostini. Slice the baguette into 12-16 pieces and add to a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush top and bottom of each bread slice. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until crisp and starting to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool the toasts.
  4. Once the plums have cooled, spread the softened Boursin cheese or goat cheese in a low plate or bowl and then top with cooled roasted plums. Garnish with almonds and fresh thyme.
  5. Serve with crostini (or crackers if not making crostini).
