Ingredients
1crispbread crackers or crostini
7ouncewedge of briecut into thin slices
¼cuphoney
½teaspoonred pepper flakesor more if you like it spicier
2ripe peachespits removed, diced
3tablespoonsfinely chopped basil leaves
¼teaspoonsea salt
Instructions
If you'd like to warm the brie*: Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking pan with foil and place the 1 crispbread crackers or crostini on the pan.
Top each cracker with 1-2 slices of brie. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the brie is warm and slightly melted, checking to make sure the crackers aren't browning too much.
Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine ¼ cup honey and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Microwave for 10-15 seconds at a time, stopping to stir until the honey is heated through & thinned out a bit. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the honey to infuse with the red pepper flakes.
In a medium bowl, toss together the 2 ripe peaches (diced), 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil leaves and a ¼ teaspoon sea salt until fully combined. Set aside.
Remove the crackers or crostini from oven and immediately top with the peach mixture. Drizzle each with some of the hot honey & sprinkle with remaining tablespoon or basil. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
* I liked the brie a bit melted, but this step isn't necessary at all. It's delicious warm or at room temp!
