Ingredients
- 1 baguette (~20 slices of baguette)
- Olive oil and salt to taste
- 8 oz @RothCheese Havarti, cut into 20 slices (or as many slices as the number of baguette slices)
- 2-3 peaches, sliced into wedges
- 10 slices prosciutto, cut in half
- Hot honey
- Balsamic glaze
- Black pepper to taste
- Thinly sliced basil to taste
Step 1: Preheat the Grill
Start by preheating your grill to medium heat.
This will ensure that your baguette slices get that perfect toasty texture without burning.
Step 2: Prepare the Baguette
Slice the baguette into approximately 20 pieces.
Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and season lightly with salt.
This helps to achieve a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
Step 3: Grill the Baguette Slices
Place the baguette slices on the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes per side.
You want to grill them just long enough to toast both sides to a light golden brown.
Once done, remove from heat and let the slices cool.
Step 4: Wrap the Peaches
Take each peach slice and wrap it in a slice of prosciutto that has been cut in half.
This creates a delicious combination of sweet and salty that pairs perfectly with the creamy cheese.
Step 5: Assemble the Crostini
On each grilled baguette slice, place a slice of Havarti cheese.
Top with a prosciutto-wrapped peach slice.
Arrange the crostini on a serving platter.
Step 6: Add Final Touches
Drizzle hot honey and balsamic glaze over the assembled crostini.
Season with black pepper and garnish with thinly sliced basil to taste.
The hot honey adds a touch of sweetness and spice, while the balsamic glaze introduces a tangy contrast.
Make Ahead Tips
To save time, you can grill the baguette slices ahead of time.
Also, prepare the cheese slices and prosciutto-wrapped peaches in advance.
This allows you to quickly assemble the crostini just before serving.
