Proscuitto + Goat Cheese Crostini's

ProscuittoManchegoCheese.jpg

What to make for the Fall tasting event? I had Proscuitto, figs and cheese on my mind, so that's what was up first. I had one request from Deborah "Goat Cheese and Honey things".  It's my fall back easy appetizer recipe that I make all the time. I might start doing a twist on it, I saw some good ideas the other day that I'll try to incorporate.

For these recipe's here's the start:

1. LaBrea Bakery baguette - this is the one I use, it's the perfect texture. If you happen to live in France I'm sure you can find some amazing baguettes. But here in L.A. I found this to be my favorite. Plus it's available in every major grocery store.

2. Slice these bad boys on the diagonal, layer slices on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toast for about 10 minutes on 425 F. I like them crunchy, so I turn them over and toast for another 5 minutes.

Now you can layer just about anything you want on these toasted slices [Crostini]

Proscuitto, Fig Jam, Manchego Cheese Recipe

Ingredients in the order below:

Fig Jam [buy a high quality jam and schmear it on the crostini]

Manchego Cheese [slice thinly, layer over fig jam]

Proscuitto [good quality thinly sliced, tear the pieces into smaller bites. This makes it easier when you take a bite into the bread all the meat doesn't come off at once. ]

Super easy to do and then arrange on a nice serving platter. I choose a big ole slab of cut tree trunk, it just made it festive and Fall.

Goat Cheese & Honey Crostini

Ingredients in the order below: 

Goat Cheese [Room temperature, schmear it on each crostini] 

Honey [drizzle over goat cheese]

Fresh Rosemary [finely chop]  

Toasted Pine Nuts [I buy raw and lightly toast them in a cast iron skillet on the oven top]

Serve on a pretty platter and your all done!!

This was my pre-meal to get me fed and courage to go network with people I don’t know but want to know. Finally got to @barpisellino for their classic Negroni. Did not disappoint.

Quick trip down to the city tonight to Network. So out of practice but was good to make some work connections. Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station pics never get old.
