Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!

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!
