Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch rounds and lightly brush each slice with olive oil on one side. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, oiled side up. Toast in the oven until the edges are golden and crisp, about 6–8 minutes.
  2. Remove the sheet from the oven and top each toasted slice with a small wedge or slice of brie and a generous dollop of fig jam. Return to the oven for about 3–4 minutes, just until the brie softens.
  3. Sprinkle the warm crostini with chopped walnuts, drizzle with honey, and finish with a sprig or pinch of fresh thyme or rosemary.
  4. Serve warm or at room temperature.
