Why We Love This Recipe

  • Two words – melted cheese!
  • Brie cheese is a cows milk cheese that is soft and creamy, buttery smooth and goes well with sweet jams and salty nuts and meats.
  • Crostini are an easy, but impressive appetizer that can be prepped ahead of time.

Ingredients

The exact ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.

ingredients to make brie apricot pistachio crostini
  • Toasted Baguette – I recommend using a French-Style baguette for crostini toast.
  • Brie Cheese – Be sure to buy a decent wheel of brie cheese. I recommend using a double or triple cream brie cheese.
  • Apricot Jam – Use your favorite brand of jam or jelly.
  • Pistachios – I always have pistachios on hand becasue they add a salty finish to many dishes including salads.
  • Hot Honey – You can use any type of honey drizzle you’d like. We prefer a drizzle of homemade hot honey for a little extra flavor kick.
  • Fresh Mint – Becasue appetizers need to be dressed for the party.

Let’s Make Brie Apricot Pistachio Crostini

  1. Slice the baguette.
  2. Brush one side with olive oil.
  3. Place them on a parchment paper-covered cookie sheet and toast for 15-20 minutes at 350°.

  2. Place a slice of brie cheese on top of each crostini and return the cookie sheet to the oven for another 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  3. Remove from oven and top each crostini with a teaspoon of apricot jam.
  4. Crush the pistachios and place a few on top of the jam.
  5. Drizzle with honey, garnish with fresh mint, plate, and serve.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • There is no need to remove the rind from brie cheese. It is fully edible and it actually serves to hold the cheese together.
  • If you cannot find a wheel of brie, use the cream-style spreadable brie and omit the second bake because the cream style is already smooth and creamy.
  • Experiment with this recipe and use any type of jam you have on hand. Brie goes especially well with fig jam, orange marmalade, and blueberry jam.
  • To make ahead, toast the crostini, allow them to cool completely, and store them in a zip-top bag in the cupboard.
