Ingredients

• Baguette, sliced into thin rounds
• Olive oil or melted butter, for toasting
• Filet mignon
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• Garlic & herb Boursin cheese
• Balsamic caramelized onions

Instructions

1. Toast the Baguette

Slice the baguette into thin rounds and brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.

Toast until golden brown and crisp around the edges. Set aside.

2. Grill the Filet Mignon

Season the filet mignon generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Grill over medium-high heat until cooked to your preferred doneness. For medium, cook until the internal temperature reaches approximately 140°F, then allow the steak to rest before slicing.

Once rested, slice the filet mignon thinly against the grain.

3. Caramelize the Onions

Prepare balsamic caramelized onions until soft, golden, and deeply flavorful.

4. Build the Crostini

Spread each toasted baguette slice with a generous layer of garlic and herb Boursin.

Top with a thin slice of grilled filet mignon, followed by balsamic caramelized onions.

Add a small spoonful of Raven’s Nest Raspberry Jalapeño Jam.

Finish with freshly chopped chives.

5. Serve

Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and serve immediately.
