Vibrant Roasted Peach Crostini Recipe

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a special gathering with friends. I was inspired to create this recipe by the vibrant colors of summer fruits and the desire to combine sweet and savory flavors in a deliciously unexpected way. Let’s dive into making my Roasted Peach and Prosciutto Crostini!

Ingredients

• ripe peaches (150g)
• baguette (200g)
• prosciutto (100g)
• goat cheese (75g)
• honey (30ml)
• fresh basil leaves (a handful)
• olive oil
• salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools

• oven
• baking sheet
• knife
• cutting board
• grill pan

Preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into thin rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until they are crispy and slightly golden.

While the baguette slices are toasting, slice the peaches into thin wedges. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the peach slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Spread a generous amount of goat cheese on each toasted baguette round. Top with a slice of prosciutto, a grilled peach wedge, and a drizzle of honey. Finish off with a sprinkle of freshly torn basil leaves and a crack of black pepper.

Tips

For an extra boost of flavor, try adding a balsamic reduction drizzle over the top of the crostini before serving. The tangy sweetness pairs perfectly with the savory prosciutto and creamy goat cheese.

Serving

This recipe yields approximately 12 crostini. Each serving weighs around 45g. Enjoy these Roasted Peach and Prosciutto Crostini as a delightful appetizer or light meal. The contrast of flavors and textures will impress your taste buds and leave you craving more!

I hope you give this recipe a try and get creative with your toppings. Feel free to experiment with different fruits, cheeses, or drizzles to make it your own. Happy cooking!
