Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 8 ounces Brie cheese
• 0.33 cup Pesto
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, yielding approximately 16 slices.

Step 3

Brush each slice lightly with olive oil on both sides and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, finely mince the garlic. Once the bread is out of the oven, lightly rub one side of each slice with the garlic for added flavor.

Step 6

Cut the Brie into thin slices that fit the size of the baguette rounds.

Step 7

Top each toasted baguette slice with a piece of Brie and return them to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese begins to melt.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and spoon about 1 teaspoon of pesto onto each slice of melted Brie.

Step 9

Halve the cherry tomatoes and place one or two halves on top of the pesto layer.

Step 10

Drizzle each bruschetta with a small amount of honey, adding just a touch of sweetness.

Step 11

Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 12

Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and serve immediately while warm.
