Ingredients
Crostini Ingredients:
1 long, thin baguette, cut into 1/3” slices
3 T. unsalted butter, melted
8 oz. Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into thin slices
Cranberry relish Ingredients:
12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
1/2 c. white sugar
2 T. real maple syrup
3/4 c. fresh orange juice
2 t. fresh ginger, finely minced
1 t. ground cinnamon
1½ T. orange zest, preferably organic
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat™ baking sheet. Arrange the baguette slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the melted butter.
-
Place the baking sheet in pre-heated oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 7-9 minutes. Remove from oven and place a small slice of Brie on each crostino while it is still warm.
-
While the bread is toasting, combine the cranberries, sugar, maple syrup, orange juice, ginger, cinnamon and orange zest in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until the cranberries “pop.”
-
Remove from heat and cool for several minutes. Spoon some of the warm cranberry relish over each crostino and serve immediately. Enjoy!
