Brie Apple Honey Crostini is a delicious and elegant appetizer featuring toasted French baguette slices topped with melted Brie cheese, crisp apple slices, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of sweet honey. Perfect for entertaining or a sophisticated snack.

Ingredients

Bread and Oil

  • 1 (10 inch long) sturdy French baguette, sliced diagonally about 1/2 inch thick
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, peeled and halved (optional)

Toppings

  • 8 ounces Brie Cheese, rind on, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 medium crisp apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves
  • Pinch of freshly ground Black Pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and slice bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette diagonally into pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Prepare bread for toasting: Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush or drizzle lightly with olive oil on both sides.
  3. Toast and garlic rub: Bake the bread slices in the oven until lightly toasted, then immediately after removing them while still hot, gently rub the cut surface of each slice with the halved garlic clove for subtle flavor infusion.
  4. Add cheese and apple: Top each toasted bread slice with one slice of Brie cheese, covering most of the surface, then place 1-2 thin slices of apple on top of the Brie.
  5. Season and bake: Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and a small crack of black pepper over the crostini. Return them to the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the Brie is melted, soft, and just starting to bubble at the edges.
  6. Finish with honey: Remove the crostini carefully from the oven and immediately drizzle generously with honey over the melted cheese and apples.
  7. Serve warm: Arrange the crostini on a platter and serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a sturdy baguette to ensure the crostini hold up well with toppings.
  • The garlic rub is optional but adds a nice subtle aroma and flavor.
  • Choose a crisp apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji for sweetness and texture contrast.
  • Fresh thyme pairs beautifully with Brie and honey for a sophisticated flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the Brie melty and the bread crisp.
