A harmonious combination of crunchy toasts, sweet fig jam, salty prosciutto, creamy burrata, and floral fresh figs - These Fig, Burrata, and Prosciutto Crostini are so simple yet so elegant and the perfect way to celebrate fresh fig season!
Ingredients
1 Baguette, sliced on a diagonal into 1/2 inch pieces
Olive oil for brushing baguette slices
Fig jam, 1 jar
Fresh figs, 8 ounces
Burrata, 1 package/2 balls
Prosciutto, 8 ounces
Flaky sea salt for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
Place baguette slices on baking tray and brush one side with olive oil. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly before topping.
In the meantime, slice fresh figs - I prefer thin wedges so I slice them in half first and then each half into 3 small wedges. Feel free to slice them any way you like.
For the prosciutto I just tear each larger strip into 2-3 smaller strips.
For the Burrata I often just use clean hands to tear little pieces off, but feel free to use a butter knife or spoon to portion it out.
Top each slice with a thin layer of jam, a small ribbon of prosciutto, a small slice or scoop of burrata, and 1-2 slices of fresh fig. Top with a tiny sprinkle of sea salt.
I like to assemble some and leave the rest for a choose your own adventure appetizer as you see in the photos. I think it makes for a prettier presentation and allows others to pick and choose toppings.
