Prosciutto and Pear Crostini with Balsamic Drizzle

By Sweet July

We love a no-cook recipe that’s fresh and fulfilling.

Serves: 4

We love the combination of sweet pear and salty prosciutto with a creamy base of whipped goat cheese.

The element that really takes this over the top is the balsamic drizzle (Sweet July Balsamic Vinegar), which ties the whole thing together and makes for the perfect bite. Serve these up with a crisp bottle of white wine for a delicious (and easy!) summer supper.

Ingredients

1 baguette, sliced and lightly toasted

4 oz goat cheese

3 tbsp crème fraîche

1 tsp honey

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 oz prosciutto

1 pear, sliced

1 cup balsamic vinegar

Microgreens, garnish (optional)

Instructions

step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the balsamic vinegar over low heat. Allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, until reduced. Set aside and allow to cool.

step 2

In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, crème fraîche, honey, black pepper and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine until fluffy.

step 3

To assemble the crostini, spread a generous spoonful of goat cheese mixture onto a slice of toasted bread. Layer on the prosciutto, pear, and microgreens (if using). Drizzle with balsamic vinegar reduction and top with finishing salt. Enjoy.
