The method
Step by step
- 1
Using a sharp chef's knife, carefully slice the sheep's milk cheese into uniform portions, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, ensuring each piece is ready for serving.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: For cleaner cuts and less sticking, use a knife that has been run under hot water and then wiped dry, especially if the cheese is very soft.
- 2
On a clean cutting board, slice the baguette into thin, diagonal pieces, aiming for an even thickness to ensure consistent texture.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Cutting the baguette on a diagonal increases the surface area, making it ideal for holding cheese and honey.
- 3
Artfully arrange the prepared cheese slices and baguette pieces on a serving plate, creating an inviting presentation.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Vary the arrangement by stacking cheese on some baguette slices and leaving others separate for guests to assemble.
- 4
Gently drizzle the honey over the cheese slices, allowing it to cascade and lightly coat each piece.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: If your honey is too thick, warm it slightly in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a bowl of warm water to achieve a smoother, more even drizzle.
- 5
Finish by grinding a pinch of fresh black pepper over the honey-drizzled cheese, enhancing the flavors with a subtle warmth and aroma.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Freshly ground black pepper adds a surprising depth and counterpoint to the sweetness of the honey and the tang of the cheese; adjust the amount to your preference.

Keep it good
This simple yet sophisticated snack pairs wonderfully with a crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, or a light-bodied red. For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves or a few toasted walnuts alongside the cheese and bread. It's an ideal starter for a casual gathering or a delightful treat for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Store any leftover cheese and baguette separately in airtight containers. The cheese should be wrapped in parchment paper and then plastic wrap to prevent drying, and the baguette can be stored at room temperature.
This snack is best enjoyed fresh and at room temperature. Do not reheat the cheese or baguette once assembled.
