Ingredients

1 Baguette about 25 inches long
10 oz Brie
1 Anju pear
2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 Clove Garlic crushed
2 Tbsp Fresh rosemary finely chopped
2 Tbsp Fresh thyme finely chopped
2-3 Tbsp balsamic reduction

Instructions

Slice the baguette into slices on a slight diagonal about 1/2 inch thick.
With a sharp knife, cut the brie into thin slices. Then cut the pear into thin slices.
Crush the garlic and add it to the 2 tbsp of olive oil.
Lightly brush each side of the baguette slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Place the baguettes under the broiler for about 2 minutes, or until they begin to toast. Then flip and toast for another 2 minutes, just until they start to turn golden brown.
Remove the baguettes from the oven and top each piece of bread with a slice of brie. Return to the oven and broil for about 2 minutes, just until brie starts to melt.
Remove the bread from the oven and top each with 2 pear slices and a sprinkle of herbs.
Return to the oven one last time and heat just until you begin to smell the herbs.
Remove from the oven, place the crostini on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Finish with another sprinkle of herbs if desired.
