    How to Make Shallots And Brie On Toasted Baguettes

    Now I’ll walk you through it…

    Infographic with detailed recipe steps and captions for making caramelized shallots and baked brie crostinis

    Quick look at this brie appetizer idea

    1. Caramelize shallots.
    2. Toast bread, or just use it fresh.
    3. Assemble brie crostinis. 
    4. Enjoy.

    Detailed recipe steps

    1. Dice shallots. Cut off ends of the shallot and slice it in half lengthwise. Remove paper from outside of shallot. Slice to ½” segments, the long way. Turn and dice shallots small, into ½” segments.
    2. Caramelize shallots for brie toasts. Set a medium skillet or pan on the stove to medium high heat. Add olive oil and diced shallots. In a couple minutes, once oil begins bubbling and shallots begin browning and sizzling in the pan, add salt. Reduce heat to medium and regularly stir for 5-10 minutes, until shallots caramelize to your desired level of caramelization. The more brown, the stronger the taste. Add 1 tbsp of water if the caramelized shallots begin to brown too much (aka burn!) Set aside.
    3. Toast bread, or just use it fresh. Toast it in the oven at 400 degrees F for a few minutes, until lightly browned. I don’t find it necessary to add olive oil, but if you want it extra crunchy, brush some on top before toasting baguettes in the oven.
    4. Assemble brie crostinis. Smear brie on baguettes. Top with diced caramelized shallots. Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze if desired. Top with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

    Add leftover caramelized shallots to pulled pork pasta, as a topping for tri tip, or on top of smoked pork chops.

    FAQs 

    Can you bake brie for these toasts?

    I usually serve this appetizer with fresh sliced brie smeared on the toast, but you can make this a baked brie crostini by adding the cheese on top of the toast. Bake them on a baking sheet in the oven or toaster oven or even the air fryer for a couple of minutes before adding the shallots or your other brie toast toppings.

    What type of bread should you use to make ​​brie on toasted baguettes?

    Any sort of french bread, ciabatta, olive bread – really anything would be tasty with this brie and baguette combo! If you’re looking to turn this into one of those trendy honey appetizers, drizzle some of that on top, too! I’ll have more tasty appetizers with honey coming soon!

    Meat thermometer recommendations

    Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly. 

    On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:

    1. Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
    2. ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill. 

    It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature. 

    How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

    While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

    Are you a foodie, too?

    Hope that helps if you’re looking for tasty and easy brie on toast recipes. It’s kinda like a bruschetta brie, without tomatoes. I love it.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    Instagram me @sipbitego & chef hubs @handmodelpatrick

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!

    See my book on Amazon: The Home Chef’s Sous Vide Cookbook.
