Recipe Notes
Choose quality bread. I probably can’t stress enough on that! Toast the bread before adding any toppings, that way you have a perfect crust and also, that way your crust lasts longer. Rub a clove of garlic on the hot bread for a faint garlic flavor that doesn’t over power the brie and cranberry taste. Drizzle the honey only when you’re ready to serve the baked brie toast. To make this toast recipe in advance, prepare the recipe to the point where you need to drizzle honey. At that point, you can keep the toast warm in your oven until ready to serve. Drizzle honey right before serving. Likewise, you can prepare the recipe until the point where you need to drizzle the honey, and freeze the baked brie toasts in a single layer for up to 1 month. Warm the toast for 30 minutes before serving and drizzle the honey.
