Ingredients
- 1 loaf French Baguette sliced into 20 pieces
- 3 Tablespoon Butter melted
- 12 ounce Cranberries fresh
- 3 ounce Prosciutto about 5-6 slices
- 4 ounce Goat Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Cream Cheese
- 2 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- ½ cup Sugar
- Rosemary sprigs optional topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF
- Add goat cheese log (crumbled) and cream cheese to a small food processor. Whip until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. You will need to stop and scrap down the sides of the food processor frequently.
- Mix the cranberries, rosemary, sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Spread the mixture out on rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes until cranberries are just beginning to burst.
- Brush melted butter on the bread slices. Put the bread on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 3 minutes.
- Add a single layer of prosciutto to a skillet and cook on high heat flipping occasionally. Cook about 2-3 minutes until prosciutto is crisp.
- Assemble crostini. Add a layer of whipped goat cheese to the crostini. Then add a slice of crispy prosciutto and finally add a spoonful of balsamic cranberry sauce. Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig.
Notes
If using dried rosemary only add 1 teaspoon.
Save clean up time by lining your baking sheet with foil. The cranberry mixture gets very sticky.
You can leave the prosciutto uncooked if you would prefer.
