Baked brie is truly godsent. You think it can’t get better than this, but it does. This baked brie is married with a sweet, bursting blackberry syrup that’s made with 4 ingredients (not including water) and served on a toasted crostini slice. It’s sure to take you all the way to heaven and back!
To Make These Blackberry Baked Brie Crostini
Start by making an easy blackberry syrup by combining blackberries, vanilla extract, brown sugar, lemon juice, and a little water in a small saucepan. Bring the ingredients to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to med/low. Use the back of a fork or spoon to break the blackberries down. Simmer for 10 minutes and set it aside to cool.
Next, slice and toast a rustic french loaf of bread in the oven just for a few minutes.
Remove from the oven, flip them over and place a slice of brie cheese on each bread slice. Drizzle the blackberry syrup over the the brie crostini and place back into the oven to watch the magic happen.
Remove from the oven and drizzle the crostini with a little more blackberry syrup. Place a blackberry or two on each crostini and garnish with mint leaves.
TIP: The baking time will vary primarily based on your oven and your preference of how runny/warm you like your brie cheese. Personally, I like it as melted as I can get it, baking time for this is about 9-11 minutes. If you like your brie just a tad bit warm but not so much runny, remove it from the oven anywhere from 5-7 minutes.
