Let’s get started on this lemon fruit appetizer

Fire up your oven’s broiler, slice the baguette into ½-inch round pieces, and brush tops with olive oil. Place each piece (oil-brushed side up) on a cookie sheet and broil until the tops are slightly brown. Remove the sliced baguettes from the oven and allow a few minutes to cool.
