Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces assorted crackers
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 6 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- 3 tablespoons fig preserves
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Lay the crackers out on a serving platter in a single layer.
Spread a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture onto each cracker.
Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and place one piece on top of the cream cheese on each cracker.
Add a small arugula leaf (or a few baby leaves) on top of the prosciutto to add a fresh, peppery taste.
Using a small spoon, drizzle a tiny amount (about 1/4 teaspoon) of fig preserves over the arugula.
Lightly sprinkle each cracker with a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy, salty, sweet, and fresh flavors in every bite!
