As I’ve shared, a crostini is a tiny, open-faced sandwich that’s layered with ingredients such as meats, cheese, fruit, veggies, and spreads. If you ever need a beautiful, flavor-packed, all-occasion appetizer, look no further than a crostini.
How To Make Crostini:
To make this Brie, Fig, and Prosciutto Crostini, first I sliced a baguette on the diagonal and toasted the slices until they were just beginning to brown.
Once the toasted bread was cool, I spread it with a bit of fig jam for a touch of sweetness. Up next, was a slice of creamy brie followed by thinly sliced prosciutto.
I finished things off by topping the Brie, Fig, and Prosciutto Crostini with a few leaves of peppery arugula tossed lightly with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bellissimo!
Don’t these Brie, Fig, and Prosciutto Crostini look delicious? (I promise they taste as wonderful as they look.)

Made all three of these crostini recipes for a party and they were a hit, so thank you for a lovely idea! I toasted the bread slices in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees and that worked well for me. I found that toasting them under the broiler caused burning very quickly, while toasting them in the oven longer than 5 minutes made them a little too chewy.
Absolutely lovely. Easy to make, looked beautiful and disappeared within minutes!
I’ve been at parties that served this, and I loved them. I always wanted to know how to make them, now, thanks to you, I now think I can make them. I plan to surprise my husband, and make them this weekend. By the way, he love them even more than I do, and I am nuts about them. Thank you, as always for post amazing recipes.
I’m so happy to hear this! Thank you so much, Ivory!
