Ingredients
  

For the Crostini
  • 1 loaf Fresh Baguette A firm crusty French baguette provides the best structure and crispness.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Enhances flavor and ensures the bread toasts to a delightful golden brown.
For the Toppings
  • 8 ounces Brie Cheese This creamy cheese melts beautifully; swap with vegan cheese for a vegan option.
  • 2 medium Ripe Pear Bosc or Anjou preferred for sweetness and juiciness.
  • 1 cup Cranberry Sauce Choose homemade or store-bought for tangy sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Toasted Walnuts Provides a lovely crunch; omit for nut-free variations.
For the Drizzle
  • 1/4 cup Honey Adds sweetness; use agave or maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme Leaves Elevates the dish with herbal notes.
