Description

Prosciutto and Fig Jam Crostini are sweet, savory, and elegant in every bite. Toasted bread, creamy cheese, silky prosciutto, and fig jam come together in a sophisticated appetizer that feels effortless.


Ingredients

1 baguette, sliced into rounds

4 ounces cream cheese or ricotta

4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced

1/3 cup fig jam

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh thyme or arugula for garnish

1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast for 6 to 8 minutes until golden.

3. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese or ricotta onto each crostini.

4. Top with a small fold of prosciutto.

5. Add a small spoonful of fig jam on top.

6. Garnish with fresh thyme or arugula and sprinkle with black pepper.

7. Serve immediately.


Notes

Serve the crostini right after assembling so the bread stays crisp.

Substitute brie for a richer flavor.

Add a drizzle of honey if you want more sweetness.
