Warm, toasty, and layered with rich flavor, these crostini are everything we love about easy entertaining. Creamy whipped goat cheese meets the deep, savory sweetness of our Caramelized Onion & Garlic Jam, finished with a ribbon of prosciutto and a hint of rosemary. They make the kind of appetizer that disappears quickly…so you may want to double the batch.
Serves: About 20 crostini
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced ½ inch thick
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
- 8 oz. goat cheese, softened
- 2–3 Tbsp. cream or milk
- 4–6 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1 cup New Canaan Farms Caramelized Onion & Garlic Jam
- Fresh rosemary, to garnish
- Flaky sea salt, optional
Serve With: A cheese board or holiday grazing spread
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and position a rack about 6 inches from the top.
- Arrange the baguette slices on two baking sheets. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until lightly golden and crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese with a splash of cream and stir until smooth, soft, and spreadable.
- If desired, warm the Caramelized Onion & Garlic Jam in a small saucepan over low heat to loosen it.
- Spread each warm crostini with whipped goat cheese. Add a small ribbon of prosciutto and a spoonful of Caramelized Onion & Garlic Jam.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh rosemary, and flaky sea salt if you like. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Other variations to try: Swap prosciutto for crisp bacon crumbles. Use Honey Texas Pecans in place of rosemary for a sweet–savory twist.
