Fig And Ricotta Crostini
- 1 Loaf of good rustic bread of your choosing sliced thin
- 1 Container fresh ricotta cheese
- thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1 carton mission figs, cut in quarters
- Really good honey (I use lavender honey)
- 1 bunch mint - chiffonade in thin strips
- good olive oil
- Toasted, crushed Hazelnuts (optional)
- Slice the bread to your desired thickness. I like about a 1/4 inch. Smear alittle olive oil on each piece and place on a cookie sheet. (or you could grill it if you want) Toast in the oven at 350 until just lightly brown.
- Put a tablespoon or two Ricotta (if making this as a desert, try mascarpone cheese) on the toast (I say a tablespoon or two cuz I don't know what size your bread is. You don't want a thin layer - you want it kinda big and gooey)
- Then, mound the prosciutto on top of the cheese, add the figs (2-4 quarters, again, depending on the size of your bread), and the mint to taste (I like a good finger grab full).
- Drizzle the honey over the top and sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts. Enjoy!
