Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 6 ounces Manchego cheese
- 4 ounces Serrano ham
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 16 thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick each.
Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the bread slices in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Peel the garlic clove and gently rub it over the surface of each toasted baguette slice for a hint of garlic flavor.
Using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, thinly slice or shave the Manchego cheese.
Cut the Serrano ham into pieces roughly the size of the baguette slices.
Top each crostini with a slice of Manchego cheese, a piece of Serrano ham, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves.
Drizzle each crostini with a small amount of honey and finish with a light sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Manchego and Serrano Crostini!
