Cranberry and Brie Crostini
A delightful combination of crispy crostini topped with creamy Brie and tangy cranberry sauce, perfect for impressing guests at any gathering.
Ingredients
For the Crostini
- 1 piece French baguette – sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 cup Brie cheese – cut into thin slices
- 3/4 cup cranberry sauce – store-bought or homemade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme – chopped (optional) Optional for garnish
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange your sliced baguette on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over each slice and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the baguette slices in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and top each slice with a slice of Brie cheese.
- Return the crostini to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the Brie starts to melt.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of cranberry sauce over each slice of melted Brie.
- Garnish with fresh chopped rosemary or thyme if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
For cheese substitutions, use Camembert for a twist. Ensure cranberry sauce isn't too runny to avoid sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
