Crispy Crostini with Balsamic Roasted Cranberries and Creamy Brie combines the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. The warm, toasted crostini acts as a crispy base, while the rich and creamy Brie complements the tartness of the roasted cranberries, all elevated by the depth of balsamic vinegar.
- Ingredients:
- 1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 oz creamy Brie cheese, sliced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the crostini is baking, prepare the balsamic roasted cranberries. In a small bowl, toss the cranberries with balsamic vinegar, honey, thyme, and black pepper.
- Spread the cranberry mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to pop and soften.
- Once the crostini is golden and the cranberries are roasted, remove both from the oven.
- To assemble, place a slice of Brie on each crispy crostini, then top with a spoonful of the balsamic roasted cranberries.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately as a beautiful appetizer or snack.
