Caramelized Apricot & Goat Cheese Toast with Honey & Thyme

1. Cut the apricots into slices or wedges.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add 3 sprigs of thyme and let them cook for about 30 seconds.
3. Add the apricots and honey. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apricots soften and become glossy and caramelized.
4. In a separate pan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and toast the sourdough slices until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
5. Spread a generous layer of goat cheese over the warm toast.
6. Spoon the caramelized apricots and any of the buttery honey sauce from the pan over the goat cheese.
7. Garnish with the remaining fresh thyme leaves and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
8. Serve immediately, or cut into smaller pieces to turn them into crostini for an easy summer appetizer.
