Ingredients

 

1 pack 2   Udi’s Gluten Free-French Baguettes 1
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, halved and cut   into ¼-inch slices 1
1 wedge brie cheese, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces 150 – 200 ml
1 cup cooked or canned cranberries, drained 250 ml
¼ cup roughly chopped pecans 60 ml
raw honey to drizzle

 

Instructions

Prepare Udi’s French Baguettes according to package directions (do not over brown) and set aside to cool slightly. Turn baguettes on their side and gently slice with a serrated knife (be careful not to squish the bread) into 1-cm thick rounds and place on a baking sheet. Preheat an oven broiler to low. Place the baking sheet under the broiler to lightly toast the baguette rounds, about 1 minute. Remove from the oven and turn the rounds over. Top each with a slice of apple and a piece of brie. Return to the broiler for 1 minute, until the cheese just begins to melt. Top with a spoonful of the cranberries, a sprinkling of pecans, and drizzle with a little honey. Broil a further minute. Serve immediately.

 

Makes 16 to 18 crostini
