FIG & PROSCIUTTO CROSTINI RECIPE
A classic flavor combination – fig and prosciutto! One of my all-time favorite crostini recipes is this fig and prosciutto crostini recipe! The salty prosciutto is layered with sweet fig preserves over crispy baguette and creamy triple crème cheese! I also love to drizzle some honey and balsamic glaze over the top! These fig crostini are even better with fresh figs when they’re in season! This appetizer recipe is very easy to scale up or down depending on how servings you need.

Ingredients
- ½ large, thin baguette
- 3 oz Saint Andre triple crème cheese
- 6 slices prosciutto
- ¼ cup fig preserves
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp honey, optional
Instructions
- First, slice the bread thinly, about ⅓-inch thick and place it on a baking sheet. Next, brush the bread very lightly with olive oil and then place the pan under the broiler for a few minutes. Using your oven broiler is the quickest way to toast a lot of bread!
- Next, spread a generous amount of cheese onto each slice of toasted bread. Spread the fig spreads onto the bread, or add the preserves later on top of the prosciutto. Split each slice of prosciutto in half, lengthwise along the natural grain. Add ½ slice to each crostini.
- Drizzle the top of each crostini lightly with balsamic glaze and a little bit of honey. Garnish with microgreens, if desired.
