Indulge in the tropical delight of Mango and Brie Crostini, where creamy brie meets the sweet, juicy essence of ripe mango. This elegant appetizer offers a symphony of flavors and textures, perfect for summer gatherings or any festive occasion.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Baguette
1, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
Olive oil
2 tablespoons, for brushing
Brie cheese
8 ounces, softened
Ripe mango
1, peeled and sliced into thin strips
Fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup, chopped
Honey
2 tablespoons, for drizzling
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
  3. Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil to ensure a crisp texture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the crostini are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  5. While the crostini are baking, prepare the mango by peeling and slicing it into thin strips.
  6. Once the crostini are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
  7. Spread a generous layer of softened brie cheese on each crostini, allowing the warm bread to gently melt the cheese.
  8. Top each crostini with a few slices of fresh mango, ensuring a colorful presentation.
  9. Sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the mango slices for a burst of freshness.
  10. Drizzle honey over the assembled crostini to enhance sweetness and add a beautiful gloss.
  11. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chili flakes for a hint of heat.
  • 💡 Try using other fruits, such as peaches or figs, for a seasonal twist!
  • 💡 If you're making these ahead of time, prepare the crostini and toppings separately and assemble just before serving to maintain crispness.
