1-Getting started with this grilled pear brie honey crostini is as easy as preheating your grill, and I promise you’ll enjoy the process. First, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 375°F, and get all your ingredients ready like washing and slicing the pears and baguette. This step sets the stage for that smoky flavor that makes everything taste amazing.

2-Next, lightly brush the baguette slices with olive oil to create a crisp, golden base; for vegan versions, I use a plant-based oil to keep it simple. Place the bread on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks show and it’s nice and crispy. While that’s happening, grill the pear slices for 1-2 minutes per side to caramelize them just right for more tips, check out this quick baking guide that inspired some of my grilling techniques.

3-Then, add a slice of brie to each toasted bread piece and pop them back on the grill for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese softens without melting completely. For dietary twists, substitute with vegan cheese if needed. Finally, drizzle on some honey and garnish with fresh rosemary before serving. I always assemble mine right before guests arrive to keep that fresh, warm vibe.
