Ingredients:
- 1 baguette (approx 12 oz / 340g), sliced into ½ inch rounds
- 3 tbsp (42g) melted unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) Brie cheese, chilled
- ½ cup (170g) fig jam or preserves
- 2 fresh figs, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
- 1 tsp (2g) fresh thyme leaves
- flaky sea salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer and lightly brush each with melted butter.
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the bread feels firm to the touch.
- Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Place one slice of cold Brie onto each warm crostini.
- Top each slice of cheese with a generous dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of fig jam. If using fresh figs, place one thin slice on top of the jam.
- Return the tray to the oven for another 3–5 minutes until the Brie becomes bubbling and velvety.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey, sprinkle with fresh thyme, and add a pinch of flaky sea salt.
