Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Fresh peaches
- 1 whole Red bell pepper
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 whole Jalapeño (optional)
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
- 1 whole French baguette
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Dice the fresh peaches, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, even pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
4. If using jalapeño, finely dice it (remove seeds for less heat) and add it to the peach mixture.
5. Juice the lime over the mixture, ensuring no seeds get in. Add the salt and stir everything gently to combine. Set the peach salsa aside to marinate while you prepare the bread and cheese.
6. Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with olive oil.
7. Bake the bread slices in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted.
8. While the bread is toasting, slice the brie cheese into thin pieces.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly, then top each slice with a piece of brie cheese.
10. Just before serving, spoon a generous amount of peach salsa over the brie-topped bread slices.
11. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy immediately!
