Ingredients
For the Crostini
- 1 long thin baguette, cut into ⅓”/1cm slices
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 8 oz 225g Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into thin slices
For the Relish
- 12 oz 340g bag fresh cranberries
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 Tbsp real maple syrup
- ¾ cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tsp fresh ginger finely minced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1½ Tbsp orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4 and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking sheet. Arrange the baguette slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the melted butter.
- Place the baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 7-9 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place a small slice of Brie on each crostino while it is still warm.
- While the bread is toasting, combine the cranberries, sugar, maple syrup, orange juice, ginger, cinnamon, and orange zest in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until the cranberries “pop.”
- Remove from heat and cool for several minutes. Spoon some of the warm cranberry relish over each crostino and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
TIP: The orange-cranberry relish stores well and can be served on its own as a tasty side dish - so don’t be worried about any leftovers from making these yummy appetizers!
