Crostini with Cranberry Garlic Rum Preserve & Brie
We like this sauce straight up, but if you're looking for a citrusy note, the Cranberry Garlic Rum Preserve can also be willed into a "chutney" with the addition of some orange juice, zest and cinnamon stick simmered in a pot until reduced (remove the zest before serving). Cheers!
Ingredients:
- Cranberry Garlic Rum Preserve - 1 tbsp per slice of bread
- Baguette or crusty bread - 1 loaf sliced into 1/2
- Butter - 2 tbsp
- Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
- Brie Cheese - 1 slice per piece of bread
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425F
Mix butter and oil together; brush both sides of sliced baguette. Cook one side 5 minutes or until crispy, flip over, cook an additional 4-6 minutes. Remove bread from oven, add thinly sliced brie cheese, top with Cranberry Garlic Rum Preserve. Can be served oven warm, or room temperature.
Optional: garnish with Rosemary spring and sprinkling of feta cheese.
