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.
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.
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.
Assemble brie crostini. 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!
