Neufchâtel Fig Prosciutto Crostini Recipes

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. : )

PROSCIUTTO FIG CROSTINI

Steps:

• Cut the bread into ½ inch (1.5 cm) slices. Put them in your toaster (try to fit as many as possible) and toast until they are brown and crispy.
• Meanwhile, wash the figs and pat them dry with a paper kitchen towel. Cut each one into 8 pieces (first into quarters starting from the stem area, then each quarter in half).
• To assemble, take one crostini, spread about a teaspoon of pesto over, add a small piece of Parma ham, 2 pieces of fig and top it with arugula leaf. Repeat until you are done.
• Enjoy!

PROSCIUTTO CROSTINI AND FRESH FIGS WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Cut baguette into 20 slices (each about 1/4 inch thick); transfer to a baking sheet. Brush tops with oil. Broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• When bread is cool enough to handle, spoon 1 teaspoon cheese onto each round. Arrange a piece of prosciutto next to cheese; garnish with lemon thyme.
• Spoon about 1 teaspoon cheese onto each fig half; garnish with tarragon.

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.

FIG, GOAT CHEESE, AND PROSCIUTTO CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Slice 12 ½-inch slices of bread from the baguette. Place on a baking sheet, and brush generously with the olive oil. Sprinkle a little salt if desired on each slice.
• 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.
• Fold the slices of prosciutto neatly and place on top of each crostini.
• Lay fresh arugula leaves on top of each crostini to taste.
