Equipment

Rimmed Baking Sheet

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.
