Description
Roasted nectarines, creamy whipped brie, honey, and crunchy almonds on toasted baguette slices – a perfect appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds and toasted
- 8 oz brie cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 3 ripe nectarines, pitted and sliced into wedges
- 1 tbsp honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and toast for 5–7 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine softened brie and butter. Using a hand mixer or sturdy whisk, whip until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- On the same baking sheet, toss nectarine wedges with 1 tablespoon honey and a pinch of salt. Roast for 10–12 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
- Spread a generous amount of whipped brie onto each crostini. Top with a few roasted nectarine wedges. Drizzle with additional honey, sprinkle with toasted almonds, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.
Notes
Nectarines can be substituted with peaches or plums. For a nut-free version, omit almonds or replace with pumpkin seeds.
