cranberry brie crostini
Deck the halls with boughs of berries, falalala la lalalala.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf ciabatta or baguette, sliced
- 8 oz brie wheel, sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- fresh thyme, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Set the bread slices on a large baking sheet and lightly brush both sides with olive oil. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the cranberries, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then pour in the apple cider and wine. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens and the cranberries soften and pop. You may need to squish them a little with a wooden spoon.
- Arrange the brie slices over the toasted baguette. Transfer to the oven for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Spoon the cranberry sauce over the crostini. Sprinkle with black pepper and garnish with thyme sprigs, as desired.
