Why You’ll Love this Recipe!

Appetizers are my favorite part of a meal and I have been known to make a complete meal just out of appetizers.  I love how appetizers set the tone for the meal.  It gives your guests time to visit while you finish up any last minute touches on the meal!  Keeping the appetizers simple is important when you are also fixing a complete meal and brie crostini is the perfect choice.

I think that brie and honey are perfect combination and pair beautifully together on this brie crostini.  The addition of some fresh herbs gives it even more amazing flavor. Because Brie is such a mild cheese it doesn’t compete with the honey and herbs, they just compliment one another.

If I am attending a potluck and given a choice, I will always choose to bring an appetizer or two.  Because this brie crostini is best served fresh out of the oven, if I am taking it to a party, I will always bake it at the host’s home.  Always call ahead to make sure the oven will be available for 5 minutes.

What is crostini?

Crostini means “little crusts” in Italian and is a little slice of bread that is toasted or grilled. A crostini is the perfect vehicle for all kinds of delicious toppings.  I love to use the little toasts for bruschetta too. I also love to top crostini them with a slice of brie cheese, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a drizzle of honey.  It is the simplest appetizer and so delicious!

Ingredients Needed

  • Baguette
  • Brie cheese
  • Honey
  • Fresh herbs. I usually use fresh thyme 

What is Brie?

Brie is a nice soft, creamy, buttery, mild French cheese and is always the first one to disappear when I put it on a cheese board. Brie is made from cow’s milk and the cheese has a rind on it which is actually edible mold.  It really doesn’t have any taste and is totally edible.

If I am attending a potluck or dinner party I will always offer to bring an appetizer or two.  Because this brie crostini is best served fresh out of the oven, if I am taking it to a party, I will always bake it at the host’s home.  Always call ahead to make sure the oven will be available for 5 minutes.

How to Make Brie Crostini

  • Slice your baguette into about 1/2 inch thick slices and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Add a slice of Brie cheese, with or without the rind, you choose.
  • Sprinkle with your favorite fresh herbs.  I used fresh  thyme but oregano, rosemary and basil would also work.  If you don’t have fresh herbs, use dried.
  • Place into a 450 degrees F oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the bread begins to brown around the edges and the cheese melts. Watch it closely.
  • Remove from oven and drizzle with honey. I love the sweetness the honey gives it. Serve warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of Brie?

You want to use a soft cheese. You can use goat cheese or Camembert Cheese if you prefer.

What else can I put on the brie crostini?

They would be delicious with a pear or apple slices on top or some toasted chopped walnuts. You could also add a piece of prosciutto.

    These are so easy and so delicious! We had had a similar one at a fabulous restaurant, and it was fun to replicate it. (They didn’t use the herbs…great addition!)
