Cranberry-Raspberry Balsamic Compote and Brie Crostini

Cranberry-Raspberry Balsamic Compote and Brie Crostini

This cranberry-raspberry balsamic compote and brie crostini was a HUGE hit with my entire family and we loved the combination of tart cranberries, sweet raspberries, tangy balsamic vinegar topping, and creamy brie cheese on a crisp crostini. We all thought these appetizers were delicious and I am looking forward to serving them for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

How to Make Cranberry-Raspberry Balsamic Compote and Brie Crostini

Make the cranberry-raspberry balsamic compote by combining the fresh cranberries and raspberries with sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop, about 10-15 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened. Set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Make the crostini by brushing the baguette slices with a bit of olive oil and place them on a baking tray. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

To assemble, place a slice of brie on a crostini them top with a dollop of the cranberry-raspberry balsamic compote. Serve immediately with extra compote on the side.

    1. Susan,

      You can but it could get messy. I added the slices of brie to the warm crostini and it warmed it up nicely.
