This is the perfect appetizer for all your upcoming holiday parties. These can be served while the cranberries are still warm, or you can make the components ahead of time. The cranberries can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days. If you aren’t a big brie fan, swap it out for goat cheese, gouda, or parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1/2 each French baguette, sliced thin, (Cut into ~12 slices)
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary leaves, fresh
- 4 ounces Triple cream brie
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Mix cranberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and rosemary in a small bowl. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. This mixture will become sticky. To avoid scrubbing, line the pan with parchment paper.
- Roast blueberries for 13 minutes. Remove the cranberries from the oven and place the sliced baguette on the pan. Return the pan to the oven and bake for two more minutes. The cranberries should be popped open with juices running out, and the crostini should be lightly toasted.
- Top each toasted crostini with a slice of brie and a spoonful of roasted cranberries.
