Crispy Crostini with Balsamic Roasted Cranberries and Creamy Brie

* In a mixing bowl, toss the fresh cranberries with 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
* Spread the cranberry mixture on a separate baking sheet in an even layer.
* Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cranberries are soft and start to burst. Roasting intensifies their flavor, creating a sweet-tart topping.
3. ASSEMBLE THE CROSTINI
* Place a slice of brie cheese on each toasted crostini.
* Return the crostini to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the brie begins to melt slightly, creating a creamy base for the cranberries.
4. FINISH AND GARNISH
* Spoon a generous amount of the roasted cranberries over the melted brie on each crostini.
* Garnish with a small sprig of fresh thyme for added flavor and visual appeal.
