Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush both sides with olive oil, and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool.
In a small bowl, combine softened brie and butter. Whip with a fork or electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread each crostini with a generous layer of whipped brie.
Top with a small dollop of fig jam.
Drizzle with hot honey to taste.
Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and fresh thyme leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a milder heat, use regular honey instead of hot honey. Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
