Pear and Brie Crostini

These no-bake pear and brie crostini are quick and easy to prepare, making them a perfect no-bake appetizer for any occasion. Creamy brie, juicy pears, crunchy pecans, aromatic rosemary, and a drizzle of honey come together on crispy baguette slices for a delightful bite. For extra crunch, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes before chopping.

Ingredients (for 12 servings):

• 1 baguette, sliced into 12 thin rounds
• 8 oz brie cheese, sliced
• 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. If you prefer a crispy base, lightly toast the baguette slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden. Alternatively, skip this step for a softer crostini.
2. Lay the baguette slices on a serving platter. Top each slice with a piece of brie cheese and a thin slice of pear.
3. Drizzle each crostini with honey and sprinkle with chopped pecans and finely chopped rosemary. Finish with a light pinch of sea salt for balance.
4. Serve immediately at room temperature for a fresh, flavorful no-bake appetizer.
