Description

These Fig and Prosciutto Crostini are a perfect blend of sweet and savory, featuring creamy Gorgonzola and toasted pistachios. Ideal for quick gatherings or a simple treat, this recipe showcases how effortless and delicious homemade snacks can be.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, toasted
  • 1 small baguette, cut into 1/2" slices
  • 6 slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
  • 6 large figs, cut into slices
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Roughly chop the pistachios and toast them in a sauté pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden brown. Allow them to cool.
  3. Place the baguette slices on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven for 6-7 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes.
  4. On a platter, arrange the toasted crostini. For each piece, layer half a slice of prosciutto, 3-4 slices of fig, and about 1/2 tablespoon of Gorgonzola cheese. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with toasted pistachios.

Notes

Adjust the amount of honey to taste based on sweetness preference.
For an extra crunch, consider adding a sprinkle of arugula or herbs on top.
These crostini are best served fresh but can be prepared in stages before assembly.
