Honey-Roasted Peach Crostini with Thyme
This Honey-Roasted Peach Crostini with Thyme is a quick, elegant appetizer combining sweet roasted peaches, tangy goat cheese, and fresh thyme on crunchy baguette slices.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 4 ripe peaches pitted and quartered
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves plus extra for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces goat cheese softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the quartered peaches with honey, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well-coated.
- Spread the peaches evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and caramelized around the edges.
- While the peaches roast, brush the baguette slices lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange on a separate baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Spread a generous layer of softened goat cheese on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a few pieces of the honey-roasted peaches.
- Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and a light drizzle of honey if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors.
