Ingredients
  

For the Crostini Base

  • 8 oz Brie Cheese try camembert or goat cheese for a variation

  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts optional; substitute with pecans for variety
For the Balsamic Glaze
  • 1 cup McEwan's Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar high-quality balsamic vinegar is a great substitute
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar you can use honey or maple syrup for a different flavor

Equipment

  • heavy-bottom saucepan
  • oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • serrated knife

Method
 

Making the Crostini
  1. In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine 1 cup balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Simmer on low heat, stirring often, until thickened (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool; it will thicken further.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/3 inch pieces on the bias. Coat lightly with olive oil and bake for 8 minutes until toasted and golden.
  3. Slice Brie into thin pieces and place them on each toasted baguette slice. Top with prosciutto and a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce.
  4. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts (if using) and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or arugula if desired. Serve immediately.
