Brie & Almost Cherry Crostini

Toast, cold brie, a careful dollop of Almost Cherry, a single thyme leaf. A small, steady masterpiece at the start of dinner.

The method

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a sheet pan, brush each with olive oil, and season lightly with flaky salt.
  2. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges. Cool slightly.
  3. Set a slice of brie on each toast. Spoon a small dollop of Almost Cherry on top, avoiding the ceremonial cherry if you find it.
  4. Scatter with thyme leaves and a few grinds of black pepper. Serve at room temperature, within the hour.

A small note

If the brie is difficult to slice, freeze it for 15 minutes first. The preserves may be replaced with Almost Apricot for a mellower evening.
