Cover the bread with thinly sliced pears or apples.
Add the thin slices of Gouda cheese.
Scatter a few arugula leaves.
Drizzle with orange blossom honey.
Add the crumbled walnuts (if you are using pistachios and they are salted, omit the sea salt flakes).
Sprinkle a pinch of Maldon salt flakes on top.
USING BRIE
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Slice the bread and lay it on a baking sheet, or toast it lightly in a toaster. Add the slices of Brie and bake for approximately five minutes, until the bread has a very light brown toast color to it and the Brie is slightly melted. Top the Brie with pear slices or apples.
Drizzle with orange blossom honey, or whatever honey you have on hand. Sprinkle with crumbled walnuts or pistachios.
Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and top with a few scattered arugula leaves.
