Yield Makes about 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf of ciabatta bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 large clove of garlic, peeled and cut in half
Good-quality extra virgin olive oil
6 large ripe figs
12 slices of prosciutto
Small bunch of fresh mint
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grill your slices of ciabatta. While they're still hot, rub them gently with the cut side of the garlic and drizzle with good-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Tear the figs in half, then drape a piece of prosciutto over each of your hot crostini and squash a piece of a fig on top. Finish with mint leaves and serve drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil, a drop of balsamic vinegar, and some freshly ground black pepper.
