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.
