Ingredients
-
1 8-ounce loaf baguette-style French bread
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary
-
1 8-ounce jar apricot preserves
-
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
-
8 ounces Brie, thinly sliced
-
1/3 cup chopped almonds, lightly toasted
Directions
1.
Cut bread diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Stir together olive oil, garlic, and rosemary; lightly brush mixture over one side of each bread slice. Grill bread directly over medium heat for 5 minutes or until crisp and light brown, turning once.

Combine preserves and lemon peel. Spread preserve mixture onto the oiled side of the toasted bread slices; top with Brie and almonds. Return slices to the grill. Grill about 3 minutes or until heated through and cheese begins to melt. Serve warm. Makes about 20.
Make-ahead Tip
Cut the bread and Brie into slices, and toast the almonds several hours before the party.
