Finally, drizzle honey. Let it cascade over everything. Add fresh basil if you like. Serve these beauties right away.

Toasting the Baguette to Golden Perfection

The bread is our base. We want it perfectly toasted. Golden brown and crisp is the goal. This takes about 8-10 minutes. Watch it closely. It should be firm.
