Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Slice the baguette, arrange the slices onto a baking tray and drizzle the olive oil over them.
- Season the slices with black pepper and pop them in the oven for 5 minutes until they are golden and crunchy.
- Top each slice of bread with a slice of brie, a tablespoon of fig jam and a pecan half, and pop them back in the oven for a further 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and decorate with a small sprig of thyme.
- Serve while they are warm.
Notes
- Do not bake the crostini for too long, as the brie will be too gooey and messy, and the bites won't be pretty anymore. We just need the brie to be soft enough to make the bites indulgent.
- Handle the bites with care once they come out of the oven, the jam might get a bit hot, although it shouldn't be hot enough to cause any burns.
