Servings: 12 crostinis

Ingredients

  • 12 1/3 inch slices fresh baguette
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic oil*
  • 12 small l cherry tomatoes mixed colors, sliced
  • 2 strips bacon or turkey bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 3 ounces brie cheese I used Goat Milk Brie
  • 1 large lettuce leaf like romaine, use interior leaf
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise use on without "natural flavorings"
  • 1/4 teaspoon sriracha sauce or hot sauce more if you like spicy

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the baguette slices on a tray to hold. Brush with garlic oil. Toast in the hot oven until turning golden, but not hard, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven to top. Keep the oven on.
  • Slice the brie into 12 slices - 1/3" thick, and the size of your toast slice, about 1" wide x 1 1/2" long. Place them on the toast, and put in the oven to melt. Remove from the oven when sufficiently melted, about 2 minutes. Can be held here until ready to serve, make sure it is warmed through before proceeding.

To Serve:

  • Mix mayonnaise with sriracha sauce or hot sauce. Top warm cheese with a dollop of flavored mayonnaise. Add the bacon on top of cheese (it will stick). Slice the tomatoes thinly, add 3 slices to each crostini, and finish with a few strands of crisp lettuce. Add a touch of watercress if you like as well. Serve immediately.

*Garlic Oil:

  • Add 2 T. of extra virgin olive oil in a small skillet with 2 sliced cloves of garlic. Heat over moderate heat until the garlic has just turned golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Garlic will flavor the oil as it cools. Make a larger batch for other recipes, keep in a clean glass container refrigerated, lasts for about 5 days.
