Ingredients

1 small baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces high
quality Brie cheese, sliced
1 Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons raw honey
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 5 minutes
minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from oven.
Top each toasted crostini with a slice of Brie cheese and two to three thin slices of apple.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3
minutes, or until the Brie is soft and just beginning to melt.
Immediately after removing from the oven, drizzle each crostini generously with raw honey and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Serve warm.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

Pair this crostini with a crisp, slightly sweet white wine like a Riesling or a dry sparkling cider to complement the apple and cut through the richness of the brie.
