Cheese & Dairy

Ingredients

baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
oz triple
cream Brie cheese, rind removed, softened
tablespoons mascarpone cheese
tablespoon high
quality honey
slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
tablespoons chopped pistachios
teaspoon balsamic glaze (optional)
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Toast for 8 minutes
minutes until golden and crisp, then let cool slightly.\n
In a small bowl, gently fold the softened Brie and mascarpone together until just combined into a rich, creamy spread.\n
Spread a generous, thick layer of the cheese mixture onto each cooled crostini, ensuring the base is completely covered.\n
Tear the prosciutto slices into small, rustic pieces and arrange them artfully on top of the cheese. Drizzle the crostini with honey and sprinkle evenly with the chopped pistachios and black pepper.\n
For a final touch of decadence, lightly drizzle the entire platter with balsamic glaze just before serving.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

To enhance the "no diet" theme, pair this rich appetizer with a slightly sweet, bubbly wine like a Prosecco or a Moscato d'Asti, as the effervescence and acidity will cut through the richness of the cheese and prosciutto. A professional tip is to ensure the Brie is at room temperature before mixing to achieve the smoothest, most spreadable consistency.
