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).
