Print Recipe

A quick and easy appetizer featuring grilled apricots, creamy brie, and a drizzle of wildflower honey on toasted baguette slices. Perfect for entertaining and bursting with sweet, smoky, and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (day-old bread works great for crispiness)
  • 4–5 ripe apricots, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, sliced into thin pieces
  • 2 tablespoons wildflower honey, for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for brushing the baguette slices
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the apricots, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Place apricot halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until they have nice char marks and soften slightly.
  4. While apricots grill, brush baguette slices with olive oil on both sides. Place them on the grill or in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp but not burnt.
  5. Lay the toasted bread on a tray or serving plate. Place a slice of brie on each piece while the bread is still warm, allowing the cheese to soften slightly.
  6. Top each piece with a grilled apricot half, cut side up.
  7. Drizzle each crostini lightly with wildflower honey.
  8. Sprinkle chopped fresh thyme over the top for garnish.
  9. Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, broil assembled crostini for 1-2 minutes to melt the brie further, watching closely to avoid burning.

Notes

If you want a melty finish, broil the assembled crostini for 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning. Use a silicone brush for even olive oil application. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure proper caramelization. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute brie with plant-based cheese and honey with agave syrup.
