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. : )

• Bake for about 10 mins, or until crisp and slightly golden. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
• Spread goat cheese on each crostini. Spread about a tablespoon of Bonne Maman Fig Preserves on top of the goat cheese.

CROSTINI OF FIGS, CRESCENZA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill or preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fig halves cut side down on the grill or in the skillet and grill for a few minutes, until the cut sides start to carmelize. Meanwhile, grill or toast the bread. 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.
