Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 slices of baguette thinly sliced
Maple butter:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp real maple syrup not artificial flavoured syrup–can sub honey
- Pinch of sea salt flakes
Topping:
- 3 slices prosciutto can use thinly sliced bacon
- Small wedge of brie cut into 10 slices while very cold, then left to come to room temperature
- 2 tbsp candied pecans lightly toasted (can use regular pecans)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the maple butter by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the maple syrup and salt, stir.
- Bring to a simmer for 20-30 seconds, then remove from the heat.
- Prepare the crostini by brushing some of the maple butter on both sides of each piece of baguette.
- Place them on one end of the baking sheet.
- Prepare the prosciutto by separating the slices and placing them on the other end of the baking sheet.
- Place into the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip crostinis and prosciutto slices over and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until crispy.
- Transfer the prosciutto to some paper towels to drain the fat; it will crisp as it cools. Break into shards.
- Allow the crostini to cool on a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- Assemble the crostini by placing a slice of brie on each crostini.
- Top the cheese with a shard of crispy prosciutto.
- Next, add some chopped pecans, then drizzle some of the remaining warm maple butter, and a few thyme leaves.
- Serve and enjoy.
