80g (2 3/4 oz) pecorino, sliced (about 2 mm/ 1/8 inch thick)
4 teaspoons honey
1 sprig of rosemary, leaves picked

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220°C fan (475˚F/gas mark 9) and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.

Place the slices of bread on the prepared baking sheet and top each one with a slice of pecorino. Season with a touch of freshly ground black pepper, then sprinkle over the rosemary and drizzle with a little olive oil.

Bake in the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese starts to bubble. Remove the bruschetta from the oven and immediately drizzle a teaspoon of honey over each slice. Enjoy while warm.
