Prosciutto Crostini and Fresh Figs with Gorgonzola image

If you can't find lemon thyme, use small, fresh basil leaves instead.

Yield makes 20 of each hors d¿oeuvre

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 baguette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces Gorgonzola dolce, room temperature
1/4 pound prosciutto, very thinly sliced and torn into bite-size pieces
Fresh lemon thyme, for garnish
10 fresh figs, halved lengthwise
Fresh tarragon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Cut the baguette into 20 slices (each about 1/4 inch thick); transfer to a baking sheet. Brush the tops with oil. Broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Let cool, then spoon 1 teaspoon cheese onto each round. Top with prosciutto; garnish with lemon thyme.
  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon cheese onto each fig half; garnish with tarragon.
