CROSTINI WITH FIG & PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• 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. : )

CROSTINI WITH PROSCIUTTO, FIGS, AND MINT

Steps:

• Grill your slices of ciabatta. While they're still hot, rub them gently with the cut side of the garlic and drizzle with good-quality extra virgin olive oil.
• Tear the figs in half, then drape a piece of prosciutto over each of your hot crostini and squash a piece of a fig on top. Finish with mint leaves and serve drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil, a drop of balsamic vinegar, and some freshly ground black pepper.

WINEY FIGS, PROSCIUTTO AND RICOTTA CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a small knife, trim the stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise.
• Place the figs and the wine in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and simmer about 20 minutes until figs have absorbed most of the wine and they are tender and fat. Remove figs with a slotted spoon to a bowl and reserve for later. Some reduced wine should remain for sauce; return wine to medium heat and simmer again until reduced by half and a syrupy liquid remains. Let cool slightly.
• Slice demi-baguette into 1/2-inch slices. Lay the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast lightly in the oven, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
• Spread a tablespoon of ricotta on each crostini then lay a small piece of prosciutto on top of the cheese. Place fig halves on top of the meat and finish by drizzling the remaining reduced wine on top of the figs. Serve immediately.

ROASTED FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto in half lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
• Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

Spread each slice of bread with the crescenza. Place 2 fig halves on each slice of bread, lay a slice of proscuitto over the figs, scatter a few arugula leaves on top and serve.
