Instructions

Cut the baguette into 24-½ inch thick slices. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy clean-up, if desired. Place the slices in a single layer on your baking sheet and bake them on the middle rack for 6 to 9 minutes, until they’re crisp and nicely golden on top. Watch that they don’t burn. Remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, In a small bowl, combine the Marmalade and butter until smooth. You may need to quickly heat the Marmalade (depending on its temperature and type) in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. Crumble the gorgonzola. Spread the marmalade mixture onto the toasts. Top with the gorgonzola crumbles, pears, and then dried cranberries. Place on a platter. Garnish with thyme and any leftover gorgonzola and cranberries if desired. Enjoy!
