Ingredients

  • 1 whole grain baguette
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ pound Brie cheese
  • 24 oysters – shucked, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice the baguette into 24 rounds. Brush bread rounds lightly with olive oil. Place bread rounds on a baking sheet.

Step 2
Toast the bread rounds in the preheated oven just until crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, slice Brie cheese into 24 equal pieces. Remove toasted bread from oven; top each round with a slice of Brie cheese. Return the crostini to the oven to melt the cheese, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. In an ovenproof casserole, stir together the oysters, butter, any remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 4
Broil in the preheated oven until the oysters begin to curl at the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the oysters; place one oyster on top of each crostini. Top the crostini with red pepper strips; serve warm.
