Print Recipe

A quick and easy appetizer featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy Brie cheese, and a tangy honey balsamic drizzle on toasted baguette slices. Perfect for entertaining and sure to impress even the most skeptical guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small baguette, sliced about ½ inch thick
  • 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 6 ounces Brie cheese, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for brushing the baguette slices
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
  2. Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick rounds. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil on both sides and set aside.
  3. Halve and pit the peaches, then brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Grill the peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until caramelized and softened but not mushy. Flip and grill the other side for 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. Grill the baguette slices for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  6. Assemble the crostini by placing a thin slice of Brie on each grilled bread slice, then arrange smaller wedges or slices of grilled peaches on top.
  7. In a small bowl, combine honey and balsamic vinegar and stir gently until blended. Drizzle this mixture over each crostini.
  8. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and an extra twist of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

If Brie isn’t melting enough, briefly broil the assembled crostini for 1 minute before drizzling the honey balsamic. Use a silicone brush to avoid soggy bread. For a dairy-free version, substitute Brie with plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup. If no grill is available, use a broiler or cast-iron skillet.
