Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden. Set aside.
- In a food processor, combine brie and heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a bowl, toss peach slices with honey and red pepper flakes. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- In a small saucepan, gently warm hot honey with chiffonade basil. Stir and remove from heat.
- Spread a generous amount of whipped brie on each crostini. Top with a roasted peach slice, sprinkle with black pepper, and drizzle with hot honey basil mixture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a milder heat, reduce the red pepper flakes or use regular honey instead of hot honey.
