Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 24 crostini
Ingredients
  • 1 baguette, cut on the diagonal into ½″ slices (you only need 24 slices)
  • 8 oz brie, rind removed, cut into 24 pieces (If you really like the rind, feel free to leave it on.)
  • 4 Tablespoons butter, plus more for the baguette slices
  • 6 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 4 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced into ⅛″-1/4″ slices
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter one side of each baguette slice, and place bread butter side up on a baking sheet. Bake 6 minutes. Place brie on baguette slices, and return to oven for 1 more minute to melt the cheese. Remove from oven and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 4 Tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and stir. Allow to bubble, then add pear slices. Cook, tossing gently, for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, place 2-3 pear slices on top of each brie crostini, drizzle with extra caramel sauce, and serve warm or at room temperature.
