Description

Fig and Prosciutto Crostini are a delightful appetizer showcasing sweet figs, savory prosciutto, and creamy Gorgonzola on toasted bread. Perfect for entertaining or as a quick snack, this recipe combines simple ingredients for a mouthwatering treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, toasted
  • 1 small baguette, cut into 1/2" slices
  • 6 slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
  • 6 large figs, cut into slices
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Roughly chop the pistachios and toast them in a sauté pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  3. Arrange the baguette slices on a small baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  4. On each toasted crostini, layer a half slice of prosciutto, 3-4 slices of fig, and about 1/2 tablespoon of Gorgonzola cheese. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with toasted pistachios.

Notes

For a sweeter crostini, drizzle more honey on top.
Feel free to substitute Gorgonzola with goat cheese for a different flavor.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be assembled a few hours in advance.
