Bacon, Brie, And Asparagus Crostini Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Asparagus

   Trim the ends of the asparagus and blanch them in salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble it into pieces.

3. 3

   Make the Honey Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the honey and Tabasco sauce until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Prepare the Baguette

   Slice the French baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet.

5. 5

   Assemble the Crostini

   Top each slice of baguette with a slice of brie cheese, a few pieces of asparagus, and crumbled bacon. Drizzle the honey butter mixture generously over the top.

6. 6

   Bake the Crostini

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the assembled crostini for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and serve warm as an appetizer.
