Description
A quick and easy appetizer for your dinner guests to enjoy before any meal or holiday gathering. This crostini has a taste profile that is a little sweet, salty, and savory and so very TASTY!
Ingredients
- 1 gluten-free (or regular) French style rustic baguette, sliced slightly on the diagonal into 1/2 inch slices (*see notes below)
- olive oil
- 6 oz. soft or semi-soft cheese (like Port Salut or Brie)
- 1/3 cup fig spread
- 3 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 cups arugula
- balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat griddler to 400 F degrees.
- Generously brush bread slices with olive oil and lay face down on the griddler for 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted and slightly golden brown.
- Spread some cheese on each crostini. Spread about a teaspoon of fig jam on top of the cheese. Add folded pieces of prosciutto (I place half of a slice of prosciutto on each crostini). Top with several arugula leaves. Lightly drizzle top of each crostini with balsamic glaze. Eat and relax. : )
Notes
