Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place strawberries on the baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp honey and balsamic vinegar, and toss to coat. Roast for 20-25 minutes until soft and caramelized, stirring halfway.
- While strawberries roast, brush sourdough slices lightly with olive oil and place on a separate baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
- In a small bowl, combine brie (rind removed) and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend in a food processor.
- Spread whipped brie evenly over each crispy sourdough slice.
- Top with roasted strawberries and any accumulated juices.
- Drizzle with hot honey, then sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes to the hot honey. If brie is not available, use camembert as a substitute.
