Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 large baguette loaf
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
  • 1 ripe avocado, (cut into slices)
  • 4 prosciutto slices, (cut into 1 1/2"-wide strips)
  • Balsamic glaze, (store-bought or homemade)

Instruction

  • Situate an oven rack near the top of your oven, leaving 4-5 inches from the top. Set oven to broil (see note) and let it heat for a few minutes.
  • Slice baguette on the diagonal in slices about 1/2" thick and brush both sides of each slice with olive oil. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with foil in a single layer. Place sheet in the oven and let the baguette slices toast for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully as they can burn very quickly. Remove the sheet from the oven when the edges are browned and the tops of the baguette slices are golden, but still a little bit soft to the touch. Let cool as you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  • Slice avocado into thin wedges and slice each piece of prosciutto into three equally-sized strips, length-wise. Wrap each avocado wedge with a strip of prosciutto. Place prosciutto-wrapped avocado wedge on a piece of toasted bread.
  • Before serving, drizzle balsamic glaze over top of each crostini.
