Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread

  • Baguette bread, sliced into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste

For the Pistachio Topping

  • ½ cup pistachios, chopped into crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Cheese

  • 2 packs brie cheese rounds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a small baking dish or a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the ingredients from sticking during baking.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette into ½ inch thick pieces. Brush each slice evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt for flavor enhancement. Arrange the slices neatly on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Toast the Bread: Bake the bread slices in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip each piece over and toast for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until they are crisp and lightly golden. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and set aside.
  4. Make Pistachio Topping: Finely chop the pistachios into crumbs. In a bowl, combine the chopped pistachios with 2 tablespoons of honey, red pepper flakes, and thyme. Mix well to create a fragrant, sweet, and slightly spicy topping that will complement the brie.
  5. Prepare Brie: Place the brie rounds onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Make small cuts or slits on the surface of each brie round. These slits allow the pistachio topping’s flavors to penetrate the cheese as it bakes.
  6. Add Topping and Oil: Spread the prepared pistachio mixture evenly over the top of each brie round. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings and add an extra drizzle of honey if desired for additional sweetness and shine.
  7. Bake Brie: Return the baking sheet with brie rounds to the oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, warmed through, and beginning to bubble, indicating the perfect gooey texture.
  8. Serve: Serve the warm baked brie rounds immediately alongside the toasted baguette slices. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy cheese, crunchy toast, and sweet, savory pistachio topping.

Notes

  • Use fresh pistachios for the best flavor and texture in the topping.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Make sure to slice the baguette evenly to ensure uniform toasting.
  • This appetizer is best enjoyed warm for optimal creaminess.
  • Leftover toasted baguette can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
