Make and share this Prosciutto & Sage Crostini recipe from Food.com.

Provided by SpicyGodess

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 rustic baguette
prosciutto, 1 per slice bread
1 fairly good quality fresh mozzarella ball (ovolini)
fresh sage leaf
1/4 cup butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Slice bread on the diagonal (eg. ///) approximately ½" thick. Place sliced bread in an even layer on a baking sheet.
  • Brown ¼ cup of butter in a pan - when putting the butter in the pan add sage leaves (the number of bread slices you have), add salt and pepper to taste while allowing all ingredients to brown together in the butter. Remember, the prosciutto is a cured ham, thus there is salt already in the meat, do not add too much into your butter.
  • Place one slice of prosciutto on each slice of bread - making sure the prosciutto is not hanging over a lot on the bread (kind of clump it, making little waves in the meat).
  • Slice the mozzarella in ¼" thick slices (the number of bread slices you have), and place on top of the prosciutto.
  • At 350°, bake the bread in the oven until the mozzarella is melted and just barely turning golden.
  • Take the bread out of the oven, and spoon your browned butter over top of each slice of bread, don't over use the butter or everything will be mushy.
  • Place one sage leave on top of each slice, and now you're ready to serve!

Categories     Fruit     Herb     Pork     Appetizer     Cocktail Party     Valentine's Day     Quick & Easy     Kidney Friendly     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes about 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf of ciabatta bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 large clove of garlic, peeled and cut in half
Good-quality extra virgin olive oil
6 large ripe figs
12 slices of prosciutto
Small bunch of fresh mint
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grill your slices of ciabatta. While they're still hot, rub them gently with the cut side of the garlic and drizzle with good-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Tear the figs in half, then drape a piece of prosciutto over each of your hot crostini and squash a piece of a fig on top. Finish with mint leaves and serve drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil, a drop of balsamic vinegar, and some freshly ground black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your crostini will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful bread, ripe tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the crostini. When assembling the crostini, don't pile on too many toppings. You want each bite to have a good balance of flavors and textures.
  • Broil the crostini until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to create a crispy, golden crust on the bread and melt the cheese perfectly.
  • Serve the crostini immediately. Crostini are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you're making them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator and reheat them in the oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto and mozzarella crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes. Whether you're serving them at a party, potluck, or just as a snack, these crostini are sure to be a hit.
