Persimmon and Brie Crostini with Thyme

Ingredients:

½ baguette, thinly sliced on a slight bias (16 slices)
8 ounces Brie, thinly sliced
2 Fuyu persimmons, peeled, halved and thinly sliced crosswise (16 slices)
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
fresh thyme leaves, minced
freshly cracked pepper, for serving

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with racks in the top and middle position. Place slices of baguette on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast on the middle rack until dry and light golden, 10 minutes.
2. Preheat broiler. Top each piece of baguette with 1 slice of Brie, 1 slice of persimmon, a sprinkle of sugar (about ⅛ teaspoon each), and a small pinch of thyme leaves.
3. Broil on top rack until sugar melts and cheese begins to bubble and turn golden, 1-2 minutes. Serve with cracked pepper.
