    Why You Should Make this Recipe

    This crostini has it all! Crispness from the apple, creaminess from the brie, nuttiness from the walnut, sweetness from the honey, and earthiness from the thyme. Plus, it pairs perfectly with rosé.

    It is a great, easy recipe for serving to dinner guests, or just for your family if you want to add some excitement to dinner, they’re small and easy to eat as finger food.

    How to Make this Crostini

    Preheat the oven to 375°F to prepare to make the crostini.

    Place ¼-1/2 inch thick baguette slices on a sheet pan. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.

    Top each crostini with one thin slice of brie, 2 thin slices of apple, then 2-3 pieces of walnut, drizzle lightly with honey, and top with a small sprig of lemon thyme. Serve within an hour.

    Crostini FAQs

    How long can you keep crostini and how do you store them?

    If you're planning to make them ahead of time, you can make them up to one week in advance. Store them in a sealed container at room temperature.

    Can you freeze crostini?

    Yes. Make sure to remove all the air from the bag and remove them from the freezer 1 hour before serving.

    What is the difference between crostini and bruschetta?

    The biggest difference is the size. Bruschetta are made from wide slices of rustic Italian or sourdough bread. Crostini are made from narrow bread that has a finer texture like baguette.
