For Apple Chutney Crostini with Aged White Cheddar Cheese

​

1 Baguette, sliced

​1 tablespoon of vegetable oil​

1 Shallot, minced

1 Teaspoon of ginger, minced

1 Teaspoon of mustard seeds

4 Apples, peeled and diced

1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon of honey

1 Tablespoon of brown sugar

1/2 Cup of raisins

Salt and Pepper to taste

1/2 Cup of aged white cheddar cheese, shredded

​

Directions:

Cut your baguette into 1/4 inch slices and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. 

​

Preheat a large saute pan, add your oil, shallots, ginger and mustard seed and saute on high heat for 30 seconds. 

​

Add your apples and saute until they start to soften, which will be about two minutes. Then, add vinegar, honey, brown sugar, and raisins and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat until all of the moisture from the apple reabsorbs into the mixture. 

​

Top your crostini with a tablespoon of apple chutney and finish with the white cheddar cheese. The heat from the chutney will gently melt the cheese, or you can put your topped crostini in a hot oven for two minutes.
