Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese
- 6 pieces Fresh figs
- 6 slices Prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 thin, even pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each side with olive oil.
Toast the slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.
While the crostini cool, halve the figs and set them aside. Tear each slice of prosciutto into smaller strips (roughly 2-3 pieces per slice).
Spread a generous layer of Neufchâtel cheese onto each baguette slice.
Top each slice with half a fig, cut side up.
Drape a piece of prosciutto onto each crostini, letting it fold naturally over the fig and cheese.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over each crostini for a hint of sweetness.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves (optional), a tiny pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.
Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
