These Prosciutto Crostini with Balsamic Glaze are the perfect appetizer for almost any situation. They’re piled up with creamy ricotta cheese, slices of tender prosciutto, and topped with a tangy and sweet balsamic glaze. Most guests at a party will gravitate to these flavors and they’ll be a hit.
The crispy toasted baguette is the perfect base for this appetizer. They are not only easy to prepare but also visually stunning, making them a fantastic addition to any table.
Helpful Tips
- Make Your Own Balsamic Glaze: If you prefer a homemade touch, you can easily make your own balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat until it reduces and thickens to a syrupy consistency. This will enhance the flavor and allow you to customize the sweetness.
- Experiment with Cheeses: While goat cheese adds a delightful tang, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like ricotta, cream cheese, or even a sharp cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- Add Seasonal Touches: Customize your crostini for the season by incorporating seasonal ingredients. In the summer, try adding fresh figs or peaches, while in the fall, sliced apples or pears can complement the prosciutto beautifully.
