STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  1. Lightly toast baguette slices in the oven until golden brown but still slightly soft in the center.

     💡 Flow tip: Rubbing the bread with a cut garlic clove adds a subtle savory layer.

  2. Spread a generous layer of Gorgonzola Dolce onto each warm crostini.

     💡 Flow tip: The cheese should just begin to melt from the heat of the bread.

  3. Top each slice with two quarters of fresh fig and a sprinkle of crushed Marcona almonds.

     💡 Flow tip: Marcona almonds are saltier and oilier, providing better texture than regular almonds.

  4. Drizzle exactly 1 teaspoon of infused honey over each serving of two crostini.

     💡 Flow tip: Use a honey wand for a clean, professional drizzle.

  5. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for an aromatic herbal finish.

     💡 Flow tip: Thyme complements the piney notes in many hybrid cannabis strains.
