Ingredients
- 1 French baguette
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or as needed
- Fine ground sea salt to taste
- 8 ounces goat cheese at room temperature
- ½ cup fig spread or jam spread is slightly less sweet than jam
- 6 slices prosciutto sliced in half, lengthwise
- Fresh basil leaves or microgreens as needed
- Balsamic glaze as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
- Slice twelve ½-inch slices from the baguette, on the diagonal. Place them on a baking sheet, brush them with the olive oil, and sprinkle a little salt on each slice. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisped to your liking. Remove from the oven and let them rest until cool enough to handle.
- Spread some goat cheese on each crostini, then top with about 2 teaspoons of fig spread. Drape the prosciutto slices on top of each crostini and top each one with basil leaves or a small amount of microgreens and a light drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Transfer the crostini to a platter for serving.
