Prosciutto Apple & Brie Crostini
These Prosciutto, Apple & Brie Crostini are an easy little appetizer that feels a bit fancy without any real effort. Crisp baguette, creamy brie, salty prosciutto, and fresh apple come together in one perfect bite. A touch of grainy mustard and a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze finish them off. Simple, balanced, and a perfect crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 baguette sliced into 15–20 rounds
- Brie or Camembert / Caprice des Dieux, sliced evenly
- 8-10 slices prosciutto halved
- 1 Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apple thinly sliced
- Grainy mustard ¼–½ tsp per crostini
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Optional: light drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze to finish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
- Let cool slightly so the cheese softens instead of melting too quickly.
- Spread a thin layer of grainy mustard on each crostini.
- Top with brie, apple slices, basil, and prosciutto.
- Season lightly with black pepper.
- Finish with a light drizzle of honey OR balsamic glaze (optional) just before serving.
- Serve immediately while crisp and fresh.
Notes
- Best served fresh: once assembled, the bread will soften over time.
- Prep ahead: toast bread and slice all toppings separately.
- To prevent apple browning, toss slices lightly in lemon water, then pat dry.
- Optional: a quick 1–2 minute warm-up of just the bread adds extra crunch before assembling.
Storage / Leftovers
- Leftover ingredients work well in sandwiches or a quick salad
- Fridge (components only): up to 2 days
- Assembled crostini: not recommended for storage
