Prosciutto And Arugula Crostini Food

BRUSCHETTA WITH PROSCIUTTO, RICOTTA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the bread on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Grill the bread until golden all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Rub one side of each with the garlic clove.
• Spread a tablespoon or two of the ricotta on each bread slice, then press an arugula leaf into the cheese. Place a slice of the prosciutto on top, drizzle with the best quality olive oil, and serve.

PROSCIUTTO AND ARUGULA CROSTINI

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is fully emulsified. Toss with the arugula in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Brush one side of the baguette slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. (I found it was easiest to pour ¼ cup of olive oil onto a plate and dip the slices into it.) Lay the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until slightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each slice with the mozzarella slices, fitting 2-3 onto a slice at a time. Turn the oven to broil on high and broil the baguette slices until the mozzarella is melted and the baguettes are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• To assemble, top each baguette slice with ½ piece of prosciutto and then the arugula.

PROSCIUTTO, BRIE AND APRICOT CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Put the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cut the Brie into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top each piece of bread with a slice. Broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Top each cheese toast with some prosciutto and a dollop of apricot jam and a sprinkle of chives.

PROSCIUTTO AND CUCUMBER CROSTINI WITH ARUGULA MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• For the mustard: Place the arugula, salt and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the mustard and maple syrup and puree until smooth. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use. (The mustard can be made up to 2 days in advance.)
• For the crostini: Slice the baguette on a steep bias into 1/4-inch slices; it should yield about 18 to 20 slices. Brush each slice with some of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt and broil until golden brown and crunchy, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• To assemble, spread 1/ 2 teaspoon of the arugula mustard onto each crostini. Top with a ribbon of cucumber and a piece of prosciutto, folded into a ribbon-like shape. Serve.

PEAR & PROSCIUTTO CREAM CHEESE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Heat broiler.
• Place bread slices in single layer on baking sheet.
• Broil, 6 to 8 inches from heat, 1 to 2 min. on each side or until lightly toasted on both sides.
• Spread toast slices with cream cheese spread; top with prosciutto, arugula and pears.
• Sprinkle with pepper.
