NOTES
1. What is the best bread for these crostini? A classic baguette works best. It is sturdy, slices well and stays crisp under the toppings.
2. Can I use a different cheese than brie? Yes. A soft cheese like Camembert also melts nicely, but brie gives that classic creamy flavor.
3. How many crostini does one baguette make? About 10 slices, depending on how thick you cut them and how large your baguette is. For a big group, use two baguettes.
4. Variations
- Fig and brie crostini: Swap the applesauce for fig jam and keep the fresh apple and honey on top.
- Walnut twist: Use chopped walnuts instead of pecans and add a tiny pinch of flaky salt over the honey.
- Savory-sweet version: Add a small strip of prosciutto under the brie for a salty note with the apple and honey.
