Crostini with Prosciutto, Goat Cheese, Fig Jam


This is a wonderful appetizer, which I found at the Italian Dish Blog (http://theitaliandishblog.com/imported-20090913150324/2010/4/20/crostini-with-prosciutto-goat-cheese-and-fig-jam.html)


Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette
- 1/8 cup of olive oil
- sea salt or kosher salt
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons fig jam
- 3 slices prosciutto, each cut in half
- 6 fresh basil leaves


Directions
- Preheat over to 375 degrees
- Slice six 1/2 inch slices from the baguette. Slicing on the diagonal yields longer pieces
- Place on a baking sheet and brush generously with olive oil. Sprinkle a little salt on each slice.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until crisp and slightly golden. Watch that they do not burn. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
- Spread some goat cheese on each crostino (singular of crostini).
- Spread about a tablespoon of fig jam on top of the goat cheese.
- Fold the half slices of prosciutto and place on top of each crostino.
- Lay a fresh basil leaf on each, and serve.
