Pear, Brie, & Honey Crostini
This Pear, Brie, & Honey Crostini recipe is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, making it the perfect appetizer for gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 baguette sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 8 ounces brie cheese rind removed and sliced
- 2 ripe pears thinly sliced (Bartlett or Anjou work well)
- 1/4 cup honey
- ¼ cup walnuts chopped finely
- Fresh rosemary leaves or thyme
- Olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the sliced baguette rounds on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil on one side.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. On each toasted slice, layer a slice of brie cheese followed by a few slices of pear.
- Drizzle a small amount of honey over each crostini, allowing it to soak into the cheese and fruit.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. If desired, add fresh thyme leaves or a small piece of arugula on top for an extra touch of freshness and color.
- Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and enjoy immediately while the bread is still warm and the cheese is slightly melted.
