Prosciutto and Cucumber Crostini with Arugula Mustard
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/3 cup whole-grain mustard
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 baguette
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
- 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced, halved lengthwise
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- For the mustard: Place the arugula, salt and garlic in a food processor.
- Pulse until finely chopped.
- Add the mustard and maple syrup and puree until smooth.
- Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- (The mustard can be made up to 2 days in advance.)
- For the crostini: Slice the baguette on a steep bias into 1/4-inch slices; it should yield about 18 to 20 slices.
- Brush each slice with some of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with the salt and broil until golden brown and crunchy, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- To assemble, spread 1/2 teaspoon of the arugula mustard onto each crostini.
- Top with a ribbon of cucumber and a piece of prosciutto, folded into a ribbon-like shape.
- Serve.
