Amy’s Notes

Crostini is one of my absolute favorite options for holiday appetizers. I love this brie and fig crostini, as it is all these things:

Elegant yet effortless – looks gourmet but takes only minutes to make.
Perfect flavor pairing – creamy brie, sweet figs, and a drizzle of honey.
Last minute appetizer – ideal for holidays, dinner parties, or casual get-togethers.
Minimal ingredients, maximum flavor – just a handful of fresh, quality ingredients.
Pairs perfectly with wine, should you so desire – try a festive sparkling, rosé, or a crisp white.

The Flavors

When the to-do list is overloaded during the holidays, it’s time for easy finger foods like Brie and Fig Crostini for all the gatherings.

The flavors are sweet, salty, creamy, and crispy all in once bite. I also serve these crispy bites with this easy apple sangria or festive bubbly champagne punch.

This recipe is for those who would much rather be mingling with family and friends than hovering over the stove when the doorbell rings.

Ingredients

1 full size baguette, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
15 ounces brie, good quality, about one wheel sliced into 1/4 slices
1 jar fig preserves, about 18 oz

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F, with rack on upper middle position. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place baguette slices in a single layer on baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter with olive oil. Use a pastry brush to brush butter mixture evenly on both sides each baguette slice. Bake 8-10 minutes or until slices become crispy. If needed, flip crostini over to allow crisping on the bottom side for a few minutes.
Place a slice of brie over each crostini. Top each crostini with a generous dollop of fig preserves. Serve.

Notes

If desired, you can warm the brie on crostini slices a bit in the oven before adding the fig jam.
Crostini are best used within a day, to maintain its crispness.
