Fig, Goat Cheese and Prosciutto Bruschetta
This Fig, Goat Cheese and Prosciutto Bruschetta combines crusty toasted bread rubbed with garlic, creamy soft goat cheese, sweet dried fig slices, and savory prosciutto. The topping balance delivers a pleasing mix of textures and flavors in one bite. Freshly cracked black pepper adds a gentle spice, while olive oil toasts the bread to golden perfection. It's a light appetizer or snack that's easy to assemble and showcases the contrast between tangy goat cheese and sweet figs alongside salty cured meat.

Ingredients
- 4 lices bread sliced 1/2 inch thick, good crusty
- 2-3 ounces soft goat cheese chevre
- 6-8 figs sliced, dried
- 6 lices prosciutto
- black pepper fresh ground
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic sliced in half.
Instructions
- Brush the bread slices with the olive oil and place under the broiler in the oven until they start to get golden, a few minutes. Watch carefully that they don't burn.
- Remove from oven. Use the flat side of the garlic to rub on to the toasted side of the bread, which will give it a garlic flavor. Discard the garlic when done.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly, then spread goat cheese evenly on each slice of bread.
- Cover the goat cheese with slices of dried fig.
- Lay 1-2 pieces of prosciutto on top of the figs (I cut some in half so that each bruschetta had an even layer).
- Sprinkle a pinch of fresh ground pepper on top.
- Slice into thirds if desired, then serve right away.
