Description

These crispy crostini are the perfect fall appetizer – creamy whipped brie, sweet pears, crunchy pistachios, and a drizzle of blackberry honey.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup blackberry honey (or regular honey with fresh blackberries)
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast for 8-10 minutes until golden.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine brie and heavy cream. Heat over low, stirring until melted and smooth. Keep warm.
  3. Spread whipped brie on each crostini. Top with pear slices, sprinkle with pistachios, and drizzle with blackberry honey.
  4. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately.

Notes

If blackberry honey is unavailable, warm 1/4 cup honey with a handful of fresh blackberries and strain.
