Chocolate/Brie Crostini

While watching the news this morning, a Chef from Purdy’s was making these little bites for Christmas gatherings. It looked so good I thought I would share it with you.

• 1 baguette, sliced on an angle and lightly toasted, both sides
• 200 g of Brie at room temperature, skin removed
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1/2 cup olive oil, infused with fresh basil (let sit over night)
• 70% dark chocolate, chopped fine

Mix together the Brie Cheese with a tablespoon room temperataure butter until well combined.

Brush the crostini with the infused basil olive oil and pile a generous spoon of the cheese on top.

Sprinkle the top of the cheese with chocolate and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for until the chocolate has melted and the brie is starting to ooze (love that word) on the toast.

Upon removing from the oven, a tiny sprinkling of kosher salt on top of the chocolate will elevate this to gourmet.

Serve this with a glass of wine, Christmas music in the background and a roomful of friends. Isn’t that what it is all about?

Enjoy!
