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 of baguette

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375F.
  • 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 15-20 minutes until tender. Set aside to cool.  Leave the oven on.
  • While the plums are cooling, bake the crostini (if making). 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.
  • Once the plums have cooled, spread the softened Boursin cheese or goat cheese on a low plate or bowl and then top with cooled roasted plums. Garnish with almonds and fresh thyme.
  • Serve with crostini (or crackers if not making crostini).
