Cranberry Brie Crostini

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette (approx. 12 ounces)
  • 5–6 ounces Brie
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup cranberry juice cocktail
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 (12-ounce) package fresh cranberries
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 finely diced apple
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • Zest of one orange
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (more to taste)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Optional: Rosemary sprig, Extra orange zest

Prepare the Cranberry Chutney

In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except for chopped pecans.

Stir the mixture and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, ensuring to stir occasionally.

Once the cranberries begin to pop, reduce the heat to low.

Cook for about 15 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

Transfer the chutney to a bowl and chill until completely cooled.

You can make the chutney 1–2 days ahead for convenience.

Prepare the Crostini

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Slice the baguette diagonally into pieces that are 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, discarding the ends.

Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush each slice generously with the olive oil.

Add the Brie and Bake

Place a piece of Brie on top of each slice of bread.

Bake the crostini for 5–7 minutes, or until the Brie just begins to melt.

Assemble and Serve

Remove the crostini from the oven.

Top each slice with a spoonful of the prepared chutney.

Sprinkle with chopped pecans, extra orange zest, and a small sprig of rosemary, if desired.

Serve the crostini immediately for the best taste experience.
