Scale
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 oz brie cheese, cut into small slices
- ½ cup pomegranate arils
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Toast: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes until they are lightly golden and crisp.
- Add Brie and Melt: Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven. Place a slice of brie cheese on each toast. Return to the oven for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or just until the brie softens and begins to melt.
- Top with Pomegranate and Honey: Take the crostinis out of the oven and spoon pomegranate arils over each one. Drizzle honey over the tops and sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary or thyme and a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.
- Serve Warm: Serve the crostinis immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- These crostinis make a fantastic appetizer for holiday parties or elegant starters.
- For a different flavor twist, substitute honey with fig jam or cranberry sauce.
- Use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to complement the sweet and savory balance.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain crispness and freshness.
