For the crostini:
- 1 small baguette about 8 oz
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. salt
For the prosciutto and blue cheese crostini:
- ⅓ cup crumbled gorgonzola or Roquefort
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- ⅓ cup black currant jam
- 3 oz. prosciutto ham very thinly sliced
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
For the goat cheese with fig compote crostini:
- 7 ounces dried Mission figs
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 cup dry red wine
- A pinch of salt
- ½ tsp. fresh thyme leaves plus more to garnish
- 5 ounces fresh goat cheese
For crostini:
Preheat oven to 400 °F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cut the baguette on the diagonal into thin slices (about ¼ inch or 1 cm thick).
Generously brush each side of bread with olive oil. Place slices onto baking tray and sprinkle evenly with salt.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toasted to your taste.
Remove from baking tray and let cool before adding toppings.
For the prosciutto and blue cheese crostini:
Mix cream cheese and blue cheese in a small bowl until combined. Spread evenly on crostini (about ½ tablespoon per crostini).
Tear prosciutto into small strips and arrange them on top of the cheese spread.
Whisk the jam so that it’s uniform in consistency. Top each crostini with about ½ teaspoon of jam.
Garnish with fresh thyme and serve. Buon appetito!
For the goat cheese with fig compote crostini:
Combine figs, sugar, wine, thyme, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened. About 7-9 minutes. Let compote cool to room temperature.
Spread each crostini with goat cheese. Top with about a teaspoon of compote. Garnish with fresh thyme. Enjoy!
