Ingredients

Scale

1 baguette, sliced into thin rounds (day-old works best)
4 oz Brie (or Camembert), sliced with rind on
1 ripe pear (Anjou or Bartlett), thinly sliced
2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and crushed

Instructions

Prep Bread – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a lined baking sheet.
Layer – Top each slice with a Brie slice and 1–2 pear slices. Pat pears lightly with paper towel if juicy.
Bake – Bake 5–7 mins until bread is crisp and Brie is melty. Don’t overbake!
Finish – Drizzle warm crostini with honey and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Serve Warm – Transfer to platter and enjoy immediately for peak oozy-cheese bliss.

Notes

Slice baguette on a diagonal for extra surface area and rustic charm. For variation, swap pears with figs or add a sliver of prosciutto for salty contrast.
