- Heat oven to 200°C with the grill setting on.
- Halve the apricots and remove stone. Place them on a baking tray, cut side facing upwards and sprinkle with sugar. Place the tray a bit above the center height and let the apricots glaze and roast until bubbly and coloured. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

- Spoon Le Gruyère AOP spread onto the crispy bread slices, make a small indentation with the back of a spoon and then carefully place a riasted apricot on top. Spoon any jammy juice from the tray on the crostinis. Finish with a pecan nut and serve.
