Time 20m

Yield Makes 16 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 baguette, thinly sliced on a slight bias (16 slices)
8 ounces Brie or other triple-cream cheese, thinly sliced
2 Fuyu persimmons, peeled, halved and thinly sliced crosswise (16 slices)
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
Freshly cracked pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in the top and middle position. Place slices of baguette on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast on the middle rack until dry and light golden, 10 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler. Top each piece of baguette with 1 slice of Brie, 1 slice of persimmon, and a sprinkle of sugar (about 1/8 teaspoon each). Broil on top rack until sugar melts and cheese begins to bubble and turn golden, 1-2 minutes. Serve with cracked pepper.
