2-3 sprigs basil
freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Steps:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice the baguettes in 1/4 inch rounds, brush lightly with olive oil, and place on a baking sheet. Toast the bread in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden. Turn pan during baking or flip slices over if needed. Allow to cool.

Time 22m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

12 slices French bread, of your choice (1/2-inch thick, or 12 slices sweet bread, of your choice)
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
2 cups fresh berries (such as raspberries or 2 cups blackberries)
1/4 cup honey, such as orange blossom, lavender, star thistle

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread slices on a baking sheet and toast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Arrange the toasts on a platter and spread about 1 teaspoon of marscarpone on each one.
Arrange berries on top and drizzle lightly with honey.
Serve immediately.
NOTE: An attractive alternative for a brunch or dinner party is to arrange a soft, creamy blue cheese, a strong Cheddar, and a triple-cream cheese in a basket. Place slices of toasted raisin-nut bread around the cheese. Place a pot of honey in the basket and let your guests make their own selection and combination.
