Fig and Brie Crostini "Nicely spiced fig spread is layered on toasted French bread with Brie cheese and apples for impressive and tasty crostini perfect for parties." INGREDIENTS: Fig Spread: | |
1 cup | finely chopped dried figs |
1/2 cup | cider vinegar |
1/4 cup | brown sugar |
1/4 cup | minced white onion |
1/2 teaspoon | ground ginger |
1 pinch | garlic powder |
1 pinch | cayenne pepper |
1 pinch | ground cloves |
1 pinch | ground cinnamon |
Crostini: | |
1 (8 ounce) loaf | French bread, cut into 1-inch slices |
olive oil cooking spray | |
1 (8 ounce) round | Brie cheese, cut into bite-size pieces |
1 | Granny Smith apple, cut into matchstick-size pieces |
1 tablespoon | oregano |
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine figs, vinegar, brown sugar, onion, ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cloves, and cinnamon in a saucepan; simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fig spread is reduced, about 30 minutes. Transfer fig spread to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
2. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
3. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides of each bread slice with olive oil cooking spray.
4. Bake bread slices under the broiler until toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Remove bread from oven and cool slightly, keeping broiler on.
5. Blend fig spread in a blender or food processor until pureed. Spread about 1 teaspoon fig spread onto each toasted bread slice; top with Brie cheese and apple pieces. Sprinkle each crostini with oregano.
6. Broil crostini in the preheated oven until Brie cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
