Savor Summer with Mango & Prosciutto Crostini

Mango & Prosciutto Crostini

Today, I’m excited to share a delightful appetizer perfect for the summer season: Mango & Prosciutto Crostini. This recipe is a refreshing twist on the classic Italian appetizer, combining sweet, juicy mango with salty, flavorful prosciutto on crispy baguette slices. It’s the perfect dish to serve at a garden party or patio gathering.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• baguette slices (150g)
• mango, diced (200g)
• prosciutto slices (100g)
• goat cheese (50g)
• fresh basil leaves
• balsamic glaze

To prepare this delicious dish, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until they are crispy and golden brown. In the meantime, dice the mango into small pieces and thinly slice the prosciutto.

Once the baguette slices are toasted, spread a layer of goat cheese on each slice. Top the goat cheese with a slice of prosciutto and a spoonful of diced mango. Place the crostini back in the oven for a few minutes to warm up the toppings.

After the crostini are heated through, remove them from the oven and garnish each slice with a fresh basil leaf. Drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the top for a finishing touch.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 500g, with around 10 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 50g, with an estimated calorie count of 120 per serving.

A clever tip to make this dish even more delicious is to sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes over the crostini before serving. The hint of heat will balance out the sweetness of the mango and the saltiness of the prosciutto for a perfect bite.

I encourage you to try this Mango & Prosciutto Crostini recipe at your next gathering. Feel free to get creative and customize it with your favorite toppings or additional herbs. Enjoy!
