Strawberry and Brie Crostini with Honey and Mint
Ingredients:
- 12 slices of French Baguette cut diagonally to 1/3 inch thickness
- 2 T. The Olive Tap’s 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (e.g. Arbequina, Ascolano, Mia’s Blend)
- 12 matching sized slices of Brie Cheese, approximately 4 oz.
- 6-8 strawberries, sliced
- 1 T. The Olive Tap’s Strawberry White Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 T. honey
- 2 mint leaves, cut into very thin slivers (variation – you may substitute fresh basil for mint)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Very lightly brush some oil on the bottom of the baguette pieces, and place them oil side down on a baking sheet. Top each piece with a slice of Brie Cheese. Place the baking sheet on a middle or lower rack in the oven.
Bake the cheese topped baguette for 5-7 minutes until slightly browned and the cheese is melted. In the meantime, mix the balsamic vinegar and honey together, then pour over the strawberries and mix carefully to not crush/mash the berries. Remove the Crostini from oven the oven. Top with a few pieces of Strawberry, any remaining honey-balsamic mixture, and a scant few slivers of mint or basil. Serve immediately.
