  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Start by arranging the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
  2. Prepare the bacon by placing the strips on another lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the brown sugar generously over the bacon.
  3. Bake both sheets in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the bacon turns crispy and beautifully caramelized.
  4. Mix the softened cream cheese and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Spread cream cheese evenly on each baguette slice. Top with the crispy bacon pieces.
  6. Drizzle maple syrup over each crostini and sprinkle with chives just before serving.
