Ingredients

  • ⅓loaf sourdough baguette
  • 150 gramsdouble cream brie
  • 3nectarines (thinly sliced, no pit)
  • 4 sprigsfresh lemon thyme (or thyme)
  • local honey (to drizzle)
  • flaked salt (to sprinkle on)

Directions

  1. 1

    In an empty oven, turn on the broiler to HI. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Depending on how many people you will be serving, this dictates how much of the baguette you will use. I used about 1/3 of the baguette sliced on a diagonal, 1/2" thick.

  3. 3

    Place your sliced bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Slice your Brie into 1/4" or thinner slices, and place 1-2 cheese slices on each piece of bread.

  4. 4

    Slice up your Nectarine and place 3-4 thin slices over the brie. Sprinkle on fresh Thyme leaves and place in the oven on the top rack. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR OVEN!

  5. 5

    Once the Brie starts to melt after 2-5 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a serving dish.

  7. 7

    Drizzle honey on each piece, sprinkle on the flaked salt, and add extra fresh thyme leaves.

  8. 8

    Serve warm and enjoy!
