Do you ever get in an appetizer/party food slump? I’m always on the lookout for quick bite-sized snacks to share with the family or for a holiday party. This baked brie baguette is just the right size to share for an upcoming party I’m hosting next month! They are just the right size to snack on during parties with friends. And bonus- aren’t they beautiful? I love the color the grape tomatoes bring to this yummy appetizer. Read on for the simple recipe!

Baked Brie Baguettes with Tomato and Basil

Ingredients:

• 1 baguette of sourdough artisan bread
• 1/2 lb. brie cheese – I used triple cream brie, as it’s softer to spread
• 20 cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 package of basil leaves
• optional: balsamic vinegar drizzle

Method:

1. Slice baguette into 1/4 inch slices.
2. Spread a tablespoon or so of brie cheese onto your sliced baguettes.
3. Place your bread and cheese onto wire rack and baking rack. The wire rack will help your bread bake on the bottom as well.
4. Broil your brie baguettes in the oven on LOW for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese begins to bubble, and remove them from the oven.

5. Wash your basil and separate them into single leaves. Cut your cherry tomatoes in half.
6. Place a basil leaf onto your brie cheese and a tomato on the very top.
7. Sprinkle sea salt or kosher salt on the tops for a little extra flavor.

OPTIONAL TIP: get some balsamic vinegar to drizzle on top of all your baguettes, or let your guests top their own by having a bottle to drizzle at the ready!

Plate these up and they are ready to serve!! Your party goes will snatch these up quick. Don’t forget to save some for yourself! This recipe would also make a great quick lunch idea.
