Cream cheese is sweetened slightly with honey and the warming flavor of cinnamon, then whipped until smooth and creamy. The cream cheese mixture is spread onto crisp broiled slices of olive-oil dipped baguette and topped with sweet Fuyu persimmons, pecans and pomegranate seeds. This recipe can easily be prepped in advance and assembled just before serving. I recommend making the cream cheese mixture ahead of time and refrigerating it until ready to use. I prefer the crostini fresh out of the oven so the cream cheese can almost melt into them.
Add the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons (43g) of the honey, and cinnamon to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment or a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the olive oil to a shallow dish and dip one of the cut sides of each slice of bread in the olive oil, then arrange the slices, oil side up on a baking sheet.
Broil them just until golden brown, about 1 minute.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the toasts.
Top with the persimmon slices and garnish with the pomegranate seeds and pecans. Drizzle with the remaining honey and serve.
Serve the cream cheese mixture immediately or store refrigerated, in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag until ready to use, up to 2 days ahead of time.
