HB-3645 · Hand-built original · Western
Crisp maple-butter crostini topped with brie, prosciutto shards, toasted pecans and thyme.
Main ingredient: baguette
Ingredients
- 26-30 slices baguette, sliced ¼ in thick
- 1¾ oz unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt flakes
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 7 oz triple cream brie
- 1/4 cup pecans, lightly toasted and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line 2 large trays with foil and baking paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the maple syrup and salt, simmer gently for 20 seconds, and remove from the heat.
- Brush the maple butter on both sides of each bread slice and spread on one tray, and lay the prosciutto on the other tray.
- Bake both trays, removing the prosciutto at 15 minutes to drain on paper towels until crisp, and turning the bread at 15 minutes and baking for 5 minutes more until crisp at the edges.
- Cool for 10 minutes, break the prosciutto into shards, and top each bread slice with brie, a prosciutto shard, pecans, a tiny drizzle of maple syrup and thyme leaves.
- Arrange on a platter and serve.
