Strawberry and Brie Crostini with Honey and Mint

Three toasted crostini topped with brie cheese, fresh sliced strawberries, and finely chopped mint, arranged on a white plate with mint sprigs.

A uniquely sweet, easy gourmet appetizer featuring our Strawberry White Balsamic Vinegar.

Ingredients:

  • 12 slices of French Baguette cut diagonally to 1/3 inch thickness
  • 2 T. The Olive Tap's 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (e.g. Arbequina, Ascolano, Mia's Blend)
  • 12 matching sized slices of Brie Cheese, approximately 4 oz.
  • 6-8 strawberries, sliced 
  • 1 T. The Olive Tap's Strawberry White Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 T. honey
  • 2 mint leaves, cut into very thin slivers (variation - you may substitute fresh basil for mint)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Very lightly brush some oil on the bottom of the baguette pieces, and place them oil side down on a baking sheet. Top each piece with a slice of Brie Cheese. Place the baking sheet on a middle or lower rack in the oven.Bake the cheese topped baguette for 5-7 minutes until slightly browned and the cheese is melted. In the meantime, mix the balsamic vinegar and honey together, then pour over the strawberries and mix carefully to not crush/mash the berries.   Remove the Crostini from oven the oven. Top with a few pieces of Strawberry, any remaining honey-balsamic mixture, and a scant few slivers of mint or basil.  Serve immediately.An Olive Tap Original Recipe Adaptation by Rick from the “Cookin' Canuck”
