A quick and elegant appetizer featuring crusty bread topped with creamy Brie, crisp apple slices, fresh thyme, and a sweet honey drizzle. Perfect for entertaining or a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Baguette or French bread, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese, sliced thinly
  • 1 large apple, thinly sliced (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 1–2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey (wildflower or clover honey recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and lay them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Brush each bread slice lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.
  4. Toast the bread in the oven for 8-10 minutes until crisp but not overly browned.
  5. While the bread is toasting, thinly slice the Brie cheese without removing the rind.
  6. Core and thinly slice the apple into 1/8-inch thick rounds or half-moons.
  7. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and quickly place a slice of Brie on each piece, followed by 2-3 apple slices.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the Brie starts to melt but is not fully oozing.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the honey with the freshly chopped thyme to meld flavors.
  10. Remove the crostini from the oven and drizzle each piece lightly with the thyme-infused honey.
  11. Finish with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  12. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use fresh thyme for best flavor; dried thyme can be substituted at half the amount. Drizzle honey just before serving to prevent sogginess. Thin apple slices ensure easy eating and balanced bites. Toast bread well to avoid sogginess. Brie can be gently warmed in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if too thick to melt evenly. For gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread; for dairy-free, use cashew-based cheese and agave syrup instead of honey.
