Ingredients
  

1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

8 oz goat cheese, softened

4 ripe peaches, sliced thinly

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 teaspoon balsamic glaze (optional)

Olive oil, for drizzling

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Baguette Slices: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

      Make the Goat Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, honey, lemon juice, and chopped thyme. Mix until smooth and well-blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Crostini: Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture on each slice.

          Add the Peaches: Top each crostini with a few slices of fresh peach, arranging them aesthetically for visual appeal.

            Finish with Drizzle and Herbs: Drizzle a tiny bit of balsamic glaze over the peaches if using, and sprinkle additional thyme leaves for garnish.

              Serve: Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and enjoy as a delicious appetizer or snack.
