Instructions
Preheat the oven to broil.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch slices, brush the tops with a little olive and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the pan directly under the broiler and cook for about 60 seconds or until very lightly browned. Watch them closely so they don't burn. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Add the blueberries, water, apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a small pan.
Bring to a boil and let cook for about 4 minutes or until the blueberries begin to pop open and the liquid has slightly reduced. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
To assemble the crostini, spread a thin layer of goat cheese each piece of toasted bread.
Using a slotted spoon, top each piece with about a tablespoon of blueberries.
Lightly drizzle each piece with honey.
Remove the tiny leaves from the sprigs of thyme and sprinkle over the top.
