Brûléed Brie Crostini
Mini brie toasts make for an incredibly simple appetizer, and caramelizing the tops adds a fun, impressive touch. The crispy sugar layer melts into a gooey slice of brie and a hint of sweet jam. Prepare the toasts ahead of time, then brûlée the tops just before serving so the brie stays warm and melty—plus, you get to showcase your skills!
