Chutney Preparation

  • In a sauce pan, combine all ingredients except for pecans (add these when serving) for the chutney and stir. Bring to a boil on medium high, stirring occasionally until cranberries begin to pop. Reduce the heat to low and allow to heat for approximately 15 minutes or until thick. Transfer to a bowl and chill until cooled. You can make the chutney 1-2 days ahead of time.

Crostini Preparation

  • For crostini, start by preheating oven to 375°F.
  • Slice baguette on a diagonal about ½ in. - ¾ in. thick, removing the ends. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and spread olive oil evenly onto each slice.
  • Add slices of brie to each piece of bread.
  • Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until Brie is melted. Remove from oven and add a spoonful of chutney to each and sprinkle with pecans, orange zest and a sprig of rosemary if desired.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

This brie crostini recipe is best served immediately. For best results, prepare the chutney in advance. You will likely have leftover chutney from this recipe.
