Fig Spread and Cheese Crostini Appetizer
Description
The Fig Spread and Cheese Crostini Appetizer is prepared by layering thin baguette slices with grated cheese and fig spread, followed by blue cheese crumbles before baking. The heat melts and slightly browns the cheeses while preserving the fig spread's fruity character. The baguette slices achieve a golden crisp edge that contrasts with the creamy, melted cheeses.
After baking, drizzling honey brings a subtle sweetness that complements both the sharpness of the blue cheese and the richness of the grated cheese. Fresh rosemary leaves contribute an aromatic herbal touch, rounding out the flavors. These crostinis serve well as finger foods at gatherings or light starters.
Ingredients
- 12 baguette slices about ¼" thick
- 1 ½ cups cheese such as farm cheese or gruyere, grated
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- ⅓ cup Fig Spread
- 1 rosemary fresh sprig
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread baguette slices on a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper or foil.
- Top baguette slices with grated cheese, then a teaspoon or so of fig spread, then blue cheese crumbles. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until cheese has melted and edges of baguettes are golden. Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey and top with rosemary leaves.
