Perfect as an appetizer or satisfying snack, this recipe balances fresh, savory, and spicy flavors in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh Brussels sprouts – about 12 medium-sized
  • Baguette slices – 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • White cheddar cheese – 4 to 6 ounces, sliced or shredded
  • Hot honey – 3 tablespoons (or to taste)
  • Olive oil – 3 tablespoons (for roasting and brushing bread)
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
  • Salt – ½ teaspoon
  • Black pepper – ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  2. Prepare the Crostini: Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 8 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  3. Assemble the Crostini: While the crostini are still warm, layer slices or shreds of white cheddar cheese on each piece so it begins to soften. Top each with a generous spoonful of the roasted Brussels sprouts.
  4. Drizzle with Hot Honey: Finish each crostini with a drizzle of hot honey for a spicy-sweet glaze. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Spread Brussels sprouts in a single layer while roasting for even caramelization and to avoid sogginess.
  • Use freshly grated or thinly sliced white cheddar for better melting.
  • Always toast the bread to maintain ideal texture contrast.
  • If hot honey isn’t available, mix regular honey with chili flakes as a substitute.
  • Serve crostini warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
