Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

7. Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven. Spread a generous layer of caramelized onions on each slice.
8. Crumble the goat cheese and distribute it evenly over the onions.
9. Sprinkle chopped fresh thyme over the cheese.
10. Return the tray to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the goat cheese has melted and is slightly bubbly.
11. Serve the crostini warm.
