Apple & Brie Crostini

There are some food pairings that are way out in left field.  One of these pairings, apples and brie cheese, have been a recurring favorite of mine (in addition to others like tomato, mozzarella and basil... caprese!).  It tastes so good with a crusted baguette... a perfect snack, appetizer or dinner in large quantities.  ;)

Ingredients:

1 baguette, sliced diagonal, approx 1/2 inch
1 wheel brie cheese
1 apple, sliced thin

Directions:

1. Cut the brie cheese into quarters and bake at 350 until center is beginning to ooze, approximately 10-15 min.  You can use a toaster oven for the small quantity.

2. While the cheese is baking/melting, toast the baguette slices on a pan in extra virgin olive oil until golden on each side, adding evoo as needed.

3. Stack the baguette, a slice of apple and cheese.  Enjoy!

Toasting the baguette slices!

Beautiful golden color and so delicious

Melted just enough!  Oozes more after you take it out of the oven

I prefer the sweeter apples... the tart ones don't taste
quite right with the cheese

Stacked.  No particular order- whatever your heart desires!
