  • Crush the pistachios and place a few on top of the jam.
  • Drizzle with honey, garnish with fresh mint, plate, and serve.

Notes

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.
