Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese
• 6 pieces Fresh figs
• 6 slices Prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 12 thin, even pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 3

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush each side with olive oil.

Step 4

Toast the slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 5

While the crostini cool, halve the figs and set them aside. Tear each slice of prosciutto into smaller strips (roughly 2-3 pieces per slice).

Step 6

Spread a generous layer of Neufchâtel cheese onto each baguette slice.

Step 7

Top each slice with half a fig, cut side up.

Step 8

Drape a piece of prosciutto onto each crostini, letting it fold naturally over the fig and cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle a small amount of honey over each crostini for a hint of sweetness.

Step 10

Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves (optional), a tiny pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.

Step 11

Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
