Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375. Take the baguette slices, and spray both sides with olive oil. Or, brush olive oil onto both sides if you don’t have olive oil spray. Arrange the olive oil coated baguette slices on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread by placing the baguette slices in the oven for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the crostini from the oven.
Add toppings to the baguette slices, starting by spreading the roasted garlic on top of each slice of bread. Follow that with the brie, then top the brie with a slice or two of the prosciutto. See notes below.
Finish baking the crostini by placing the bread slices with the toppings back into the oven. Bake for about 6 minutes, until the cheese is nice and melty.
Top the crostini with a the basil slices and balsamic vinegar. The basil is mostly for the presentation and could be skipped if you’d like. Enjoy the crostini with a good glass of sparkling wine!

Notes

This recipe calls for roasted garlic. The time and steps for making them aren’t included here – here’s a good basic recipe for making roasted garlic. It takes about 40 minutes to roast garlic, so keep that in mind as you plan to make this recipe.
You won’t need the whole baguette for the 4 servings this recipe makes. Reserve the bread for another use, or double the recipe to use most of the baguette.
We initially had one small slice of prosciutto on each crostini. It got somewhat overwhelmed by the strong flavors of the brie. I liked it better with two small prosciutto slices.
