Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Notes

For a milder drizzle, use regular honey instead of hot honey. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
