Description
Figs and feta are a magical combination. This creamy spread is sweetened with a touch of honey to make these crostini an easy and elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 baguette
- 2 T very good olive oil
- 8 oz crumbled feta cheese, room temperature
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1⁄2 c honey
- 1 T fresh lemon thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1⁄4 lb prosciutto, sliced very thin and torn into 24 even sized pieces
- 12 fresh figs, halved lengthwise
Instructions
Pre-heat the broiler. Cut the baguette in to 24 slices about 1/4†thick. Move them to a baking sheet and brush the top-side with the olive oil. Broil until toasted on one side 1 or 2 minutes. Set aside.
In a small bowl vigorously beat both cheeses together, Add the honey and the thyme leaves and continue mixing until a smooth texture is achieved.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture onto each toast round. Then artfully arrange a piece of prosciutto onto each toast. Garnish with additional thyme leaves.
