Prosciutto, Pear, and Brie Toasts
These prosciutto, pear, and Brie toasts are a simple, yet sophisticated appetizer that you'll want to whip up any time you're entertaining. And even when you're not.
Ingredients
- 1 about 10 oz loaf French bread or baguette
- 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup fig jam
- 16 about 1/4 lb thin slices prosciutto
- 2 8 to 10 oz pears, each halved, cored, and cut into 16 thin slices
- 3/4 pound Brie cheese, thinly sliced
- Coarse sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Cut 16 slices about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick from the loaf of bread.
☞ TESTER TIP: If using a baguette, cut it on the diagonal to ensure more surface area on each slice.
- Butter 1 side of each slice and arrange the bread, butter-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of fig jam on each bread slice. Top with 1 slice of prosciutto, folding if necessary, and 2 slices of pear. Top with the Brie slices, dividing the cheese evenly among the toasts.
- Season the toasts with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bake until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
