Ingredients

1 Baguette sliced 2" thick
4 ounces Cream Cheese softened
3 Tablespoons Butter softened
1 Tablespoon Honey
1/2 cup Cranberry Sauce
Lime Zest optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or silicone baking mat.
Then place your baguette slices on the cooking. If your baguette is not sliced already you will slice in 2 inch slices.
In a bowl, add butter and honey. Mix well then spread on each of the baguettes. Make sure the butter is softened so it mixes well.
Bake for 5-7 minutes or until toasted. Then remove.
On top add softened cream cheese, and a dollop of cranberry sauce.
Zest some lime on top if you want, or even a zest of orange works great.
Serve these cranberry crostini bites right away.

Notes

Honey butter - make sure the butter is softened or it will not mix well with the honey.

Baking - You want to bake the baguettes until they are golden, so they have a little crunch to them. If you prefer to have softer bread cook for less time.

Cranberry Sauce - You can use homemade cranberry sauce or store bought. Both work great for this recipe.

Zesting - The zest adds some color but also a kick of citrus flavor.
