Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices

2 cups fresh cranberries

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 oz Brie cheese, sliced

Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Crostini: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the slices are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

      Roast the Cranberries: In a separate baking dish, combine the fresh cranberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until the cranberries are well-coated. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture is syrupy.

        Assemble the Crostini: Once the crostini are crispy and the cranberries are roasted, it's time to assemble. Place a slice of Brie cheese on each crostini, allowing it to soften slightly, then top generously with the balsamic roasted cranberries.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves for an herbaceous touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of crispy, creamy, and tangy flavors!
