One thing I’ve learned is that great appetizers don’t have to be complicated. It’s not about the hours you put in; it’s about using the right ingredients that marry well together.
Take this latest recipe, Fig & Brie Crostini, for example. With just 10 minutes of prep time, it’s an absolute delight! But beware, once you try it, you’ll find it hard to resist. The combination of sweet figs, creamy brie cheese, and the satisfying crunch of crispy crostini is a flavour explosion like no other. And let’s not forget the perfect touch of honey caramelized with the blow torch, this perfection will have you drooling and craving for more. So, without further ado, here’s how you can make it.
