Description
A delightful appetizer featuring creamy whipped brie, sweet roasted strawberries, a crack of black pepper, and a hot honey basil drizzle over crispy crostini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and toast for 8-10 minutes until golden. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine brie, heavy cream, and salt. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and whipped. Set aside.
- On the same baking sheet, toss strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of black pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes until softened and caramelized.
- In a small bowl, mix hot honey with chopped basil.
- To assemble, spread each crostini with whipped brie, top with roasted strawberries, drizzle with hot honey basil mixture, and finish with a crack of black pepper.
Notes
For a milder flavor, use regular honey instead of hot honey. The whipped brie can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
