The drizzle of honey and saltiness from the blue cheese and prosciutto create the perfect sweet and salty flavor!
Servings: 24
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 baguette, sliced into 24 thin diagonal slices
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2-3 pears, sliced into 24 thin slices
- 4 ounces prosciutto, very thinly sliced
- 4 ounces blue cheese
- Honey
- 4 thyme sprigs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the slices of baguette on a baking sheet and lightly coat with olive oil. Sprinkle some salt on top. Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and remove. The slices will start to get firm as they cool.
- Cut the blue cheese into thin ½-inch pieces or into crumbles.
- Cut the prosciutto into thin pieces (24 pieces) to drape over the baked baguette slices (crostini).
- Layer the prosciutto, pear and blue cheese on each crostini. Drizzle honey over and garnish with a small piece of the thyme sprig. Enjoy!
Tip:
For more flavor, put garlic or herbed salt on the baguette before baking instead of regular salt.
