Crostini with Brie Dates and Toasted Walnuts

This nibble builds on the classic pairing of cheese, dried fruit, and nuts. A splash of balsamic vinegar helps bring together all the flavors. The crostini are best served right out of the oven, though they can also hold for an hour or two at room temperature.

  4. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts
  5. 1/2 cup Medjool dates (about 6 to 8), pitted and coarsely chopped
