Balsamic Roasted Cranberry and Brie Crostini

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 French baguette, sliced thinly
• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 4 ounces triple cream brie, sliced
• Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Mix melted butter and olive oil. Brush both sides of baguette slices with the mixture and arrange on a baking sheet.

Combine cranberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and rosemary in a small bowl. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roast cranberries for 5 minutes. Add baguette slices to the oven and roast for 6 minutes. Flip baguette slices and roast 4-6 minutes until golden and crispy.

Remove both trays from the oven.

Place a slice of brie on each toasted baguette. Top with roasted balsamic cranberries. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
