Description
Warm and festive, these Fig & Brie Crostini combine crispy baguette, creamy brie, sweet fig jam, and crunchy walnuts for an elegant holiday appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette
- 8 oz brie cheese
- ½ cup fig jam
- ¼ cup walnuts
- 2 tbsp honey
- Olive oil
- Fresh thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch rounds and lightly brush each slice with olive oil on one side. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, oiled side up. Toast in the oven until the edges are golden and crisp, about 6–8 minutes.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and top each toasted slice with a small wedge or slice of brie and a generous dollop of fig jam. Return to the oven for about 3–4 minutes, just until the brie softens.
- Sprinkle the warm crostini with chopped walnuts, drizzle with honey, and finish with a sprig or pinch of fresh thyme or rosemary.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a nut-free version, omit walnuts or replace them with toasted seeds. You can also use different cheese varieties like camembert or goat cheese.
