How to Make Mango Habanero Brie Crostini

Slice the French baguette into rounds and toast until lightly golden and crisp.

Top each toasted slice with Brie and bake until the cheese is soft and just beginning to melt.
3. Add the Jam
Spoon GOOD GOOD Mango Habanero Jam over each crostini, letting the sweet heat pair perfectly with the creamy Brie.

Tips for the Best Brie Crostini
- Toast the bread first so it stays crisp under the melted Brie.
- Don't overbake the Brie—you want it soft and creamy, not completely melted off the bread.
- Assemble just before serving for the best texture.
- Garnish with fresh thyme right before serving for maximum freshness.
- Pair with sparkling wine, white wine, or a seasonal cocktail for an effortless entertaining spread.
Why GOOD GOOD Mango Habanero Jam Is Perfect for This Recipe
Sweet fruit preserves and creamy Brie have long been a classic pairing, and GOOD GOOD Mango Habanero Jam takes that combination to the next level.
