Caramelized Shallot Crostini

Servings 24 Individual Crostini
Prep Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 small baguette cut into ¼-inch slices (24 slices)
  • 1 5.2 oz Boursin Shallot & Chive or Garlic & Fine Herbs
  • 3 Large Shallots thinly sliced and caramelized in 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 24 Cherry tomatoes yellow or red, or both, chopped
  • 2 Large Basil leaves snipped into small pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for just about 5 minutes, or until slightly toasted. Remove from the oven and cool to room temp. Keep oven temperature at 350 F.
  • Meanwhile, caramelize shallots in the olive oil in a frying pan until golden-brown and crispy. This will take about 15 minutes at medium-low temperature.
  • Spread a layer of Boursin on each baguette slice. Arrange shallots on top.
  • Bake at 350 F for about 10 minutes, or until cheese begins to brown.
  • Remove from the oven and scatter chopped tomatoes over the top of each crostini.
    Garnish with a few strands of basil.
