What You’ll Need:
- 1 small baguette, sliced ¼” thick
- ¼ c. hot pepper jelly
- 1 lb manchego cheese, grated
- 6 ounces fresh prosciutto
- 4 fresh figs, sliced (If figs are not in season, 12 dried figs will work)
- Finely chopped fresh chives for garnish
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to Broil.
Step 2: Place the baguette slices on a cookie sheet and toast in the oven under the broiler. Flip and toast the second side.
Step 3: Spread the crostini with hot pepper jelly, about ½ t. per piece. Top with manchego and place under the broiler and allow the cheese to melt but not color.
Step 4: Top each of the crostini with prosciutto and a piece of fig. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
Makes approximately 20 crostini.
