Cranberry Pecan Boursin Crostini

Cranberry pecan Boursin crostini are the perfect easy appetizer for this holiday season. They feature cranberry pepper Boursin, topped with candied pecans, dried cranberries, orange zest, and rosemary.

Info and tips

I like to use silicone cooking brush to brush on the olive oil, but you can also just drizzle it. I also like to rub a clove of garlic on the bread after it comes out of the oven for some extra flavor, but this is optional. The crispy bread will almost grate the garlic into a paste which gives it that garlic bread flavour.

You can use any flavour or brand of spreadable cheese for this recipe that you’d like. I also made my own candied pecans just by cooking a 1/4 cup of regular pecans with 2 tbsp of maple syrup on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the sugar crystalizes. You can do this or just buy the store bought ones.

Equipment

I use these Stainless Steel Sheet Pans to cook the bread on.

I love having these Wooden Serving Trays around to make my appetizers look pretty.
