Serves 6-8

Ingredients

1	Baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
2 tbsp	Extra-virgin olive oil
200 g	Annapolis Fine Cheese Brie (rind on), sliced
8	Thin slices of prosciutto
1	Small Nova Scotia apple (Honeycrisp or Cortland), thinly sliced
3 tbsp	Nova Scotia honey
Fresh thyme, lightly chopped
Flaky Nova Scotia sea salt
Fresh cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place prosciutto slices on a parchment-lined tray and bake for 8–10 minutes until crisp. Once cool, break into long pieces.

2. Reduce oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes or until they are crisp.

3. Remove crostini from oven and, keeping them on the baking sheet, place a slice of Brie on each. Return to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes until cheese begins to melt.

4. Remove baking sheet and top each crostini with a piece or two of crispy prosciutto, a thin slice of apple, and a very light drizzle of honey.

5. Sprinkle with thyme, flaky sea salt, and cracked black pepper.

6. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Wine Pairing

Jost Blue Latitude Nova Scotia Cool White opens with aromatics of fresh apple, a burst of spring flowers and a splash of ocean breezes. Delicate mineral notes on the palate lead to a perfectly balanced and refreshing finish. This recipe mirrors that experience to perfection. The creamy Brie complements the wine’s natural acidity, the crisp prosciutto adds some salty texture and Nova Scotia apple and honey echo the region’s cool-climate fruit character without overpowering the wine.
