Instructions
Start by placing a rack 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high.
Set the slices of baguette on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little olive oil.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast the bread until they are crispy and lightly golden on top, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the honey with balsamic vinegar, add the salt and stir. Set aside.
Layer the crostini with a slice of cheese topped by a slice of pear.
Broil until the cheese starts to melt.
Pull out of the oven and drizzle with the honey and balsamic syrup.
Add a few pieces of crumbled walnuts, a sprinkling of thyme and a dash of freshly ground pepper.
Serve immediately.
Notes
*Toast the walnuts in a 350ºF oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they are fragrant, let cool and chop coarsely.
Camembert can be used instead of brie.
