minutesIt’s springtime which means it’s time to start thinking about strawberries! We combined strawberry jam, smoked soft cheese and prosciutto to create a simple but perfectly tasty treat.
Ingredients
1 french baguette, cut into 1 inch diagonal slices
2 Tbsp. of olive oil
6 ounces of smoked soft cheese (we used Trader Joe’s Dorothy’s Holy Smoke Soft Ripened Cheese) *
Jar of strawberry jam (we used Trader Joe’s Mrs. Bridges Strawberry Preserve)**
3-4 ounces of prosciutto, torn into small pieces
2 Tbsp. of fresh thyme
Balsamic glaze
Fresh cracked pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush one side of the baguette with olive oil. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
- Microwave cheese for 40-50 seconds to make it more spreadable.
- Spread each crostini with cheese. Top with one tablespoon of jam and a torn piece of prosciutto.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh thyme and cracked pepper.
tips
- 1. * Any type of soft cheese will work (goat, brie)
- 2. **Any brand of strawberry jam will work.
