🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensuring the oven is properly preheated is crucial for even cooking and melting the cheese perfectly.
- Slice a baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. These will serve as the base for your crostini. Aim for even slices to ensure uniform baking.
- Lightly brush each baguette slice with olive oil. This will help them crisp up beautifully in the oven. Don't overdo it; a light coating is all you need.
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow for even browning. A little space between each slice is ideal.
- Bake the baguette slices for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. You want them crispy, not charred!
- While the baguette slices are baking, prepare the chicken. If using pre-cooked chicken, shred or dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. If you're cooking the chicken yourself, season it with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder before cooking. Make sure the chicken is cooked through!
- Thinly slice an apple (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp). These varieties offer a nice balance of tartness and sweetness. Remember to remove the core before slicing.
- Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven. Now it's time to assemble your crostini!
- Top each baguette slice with a generous amount of brie cheese. Make sure the brie is evenly distributed for the best flavor in every bite.
- Add a layer of shredded or diced chicken on top of the brie. Don't overload the crostini; you want a good balance of all the ingredients.
- Arrange a few apple slices on top of the chicken. The apple adds a refreshing sweetness that complements the savory flavors.
- Sprinkle a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese over each crostini. The Parmesan adds a salty, savory note that ties everything together.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove the crostini from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together a bit.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired. This adds a pop of color and freshness. Parsley is my usual choice!
- Serve warm and enjoy these delightful Brie Apple Chicken Parmesan Crostini immediately! They're best enjoyed fresh.
📝 Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add caramelized onions.
- Use different types of apples for varying levels of sweetness and tartness.
- Add a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. It is really worth the try!
