iNSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

  • Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Combine butter and olive oil in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush butter mixture evenly on both sides of each baguette slice. Bake 7-8 minutes, or until bread begins to toast to a golden brown.

  • Carefully remove baking sheet from oven and flip bread slices. Place a piece of brie on each crostini. Return to the oven and warm 2-3 minutes, allowing bottom side of bread to crisp and brie to begin to melt.

  • Top each crostini with a generous spoonful of West Virginia Fruit and Berry Fig Preserves, and a sprinkle of toasted almonds. Serve immediately. You can refrigerate leftovers, but these crostini are best enjoyed on the day of making.
