Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice the baguette into 1 cm thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Brush the bread slices with the 2 tbsp olive oil on both sides. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp, flipping once.

  3. Step 3

    Grate the 150 g cheddar cheese and roughly chop the 100 g walnuts. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the toasted bread slices.

  4. Step 4

    Top with the chopped walnuts and return to the oven for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: drizzle with honey or sprinkle with black pepper for extra flavor.
