Butter Crostini with Brie
Cherie Metcalfe
These little beauties are the easiest way to impress. Maple buttered toast topped with soft, oozy brie, a hit of cranberry and a sprinkle of thyme. Festive, delicious and gone before you know it.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Baple Macon
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1 cm rounds
- 100g brie, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries or cranberry jelly
- Fresh thyme or toasted nuts to finish
- Sweet Sesh (optional)
Directions
- Mix the butter, maple syrup, and Baple Macon rub together in a small bowl.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Brush both sides of each slice of bread with the maple butter, then toast in the pan until golden and crisp.
- While still warm, top each slice with a piece of good-quality, extra creamy brie. Let it soften slightly, or pop it in a low oven for a minute so it starts to ooze.
- Garnish with chopped cranberries or a dollop of cranberry jelly, then finish with a sprinkle of thyme.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These festive bites are easy to make and disappear fast. Sweet, smoky, buttery bread topped with creamy brie — simple, delicious and utterly irresistible.
