Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size strips
1 10-ounce package fresh spinach, stemmed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped prosciutto
1 tablespoon whipping cream
12 1/2-inch-thick slices cut from French bread baguette
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and sauté until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer pepper to small bowl.
  • Heat same skillet over high heat. Add spinach and sauté 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and sauté until spinach is tender, about 2 minutes longer. Cool in skillet. Transfer spinach to work surface; chop spinach. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add prosciutto and sauté 30 seconds. Add chopped spinach. Sauté 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Mix in cream.
  • Preheat broiler. Arrange bread slices on large baking sheet. Broil until lightly toasted. Turn bread slices over. Brush top of bread slices with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Broil until lightly toasted. Cool. (Components can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover spinach mixture and bell pepper strips separately; refrigerate. Store toasts airtight at room temperature.) Spoon generous 1 tablespoon spinach mixture atop each toast. Arrange bell pepper strips atop toasts. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Broil crostini until cheese bubbles and spinach mixture is hot, about 2 minutes. Transfer crostini to plate and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crostini turned out soggy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These crostini were delicious, but they were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of red bell pepper, so I omitted it from the recipe. The crostini were still delicious.

These crostini were a bit too bland for me. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.

I couldn't find prosciutto at my local grocery store, so I used ham instead. It worked out just fine.

These crostini were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less prosciutto next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but these crostini were surprisingly good. The prosciutto and red bell pepper really balanced out the flavor.

These were delicious! I used sun-dried tomatoes instead of red bell pepper and they were still amazing.
