1
Make the Plum Compote
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped Ontario plums, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and dried lavender. Stir gently and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the plums are soft and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

2
Prepare the Brie
Preheat your broiler. Cut the Brie in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half on a heatproof serving dish and spread half of the cooled plum compote on top. Place the top half of the Brie back on.
3
Brûlée the Brie
Sprinkle the top of the Brie with a thin, even layer of granulated sugar. Place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar caramelizes and forms a crispy crust. Watch closely to prevent burning.

4
Make the Crostini
While the Brie is broiling, slice the brioche bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toast in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

5
Serve
Once the Brie is done, remove it from the broiler. Serve immediately with the toasted brioche crostini and the remaining plum compote on the side.
