Ingredients

  • 1 baguette, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces fresh squeaky cheese curds, gently torn
  • 4 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt

Prep Steps

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove.
  3. 3Bake for 5-7 minutes minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
  4. 4While the crostini are baking, crisp the prosciutto. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy. Remove and gently crumble.
  5. 5Top each warm crostini with a generous portion of fresh squeaky cheese curds.
  6. 6Scatter the crispy prosciutto crumbles over the cheese curds.
  7. 7Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with finely chopped chives, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. 8Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

The slight sweetness of the fig jam is beautifully complemented by a dry, crisp white wine. A light, slightly effervescent Prosecco or a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc would be an excellent pairing.
