Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 6 tablespoons Red currant jam
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons Fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 thin slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick each.
Spread a thin layer of salted butter onto each side of the bread slices.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5 minutes. Flip them and toast for another 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, slice the brie cheese into 12 even pieces (one for each slice of bread).
Once the bread slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of red currant jam onto each toast.
Top the jam with a slice of brie cheese.
Sprinkle a few fresh thyme leaves over each toast, followed by a light pinch of sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper.
Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
