Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 baguette slices toasted
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened or whipped
  • 1 green kiwi sliced (ripe but still firm)
  • 2 slices prosciutto cut into 3 strips
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Chili threads optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Toast the baguette slices until lightly golden and crisp. You can toast them in a toaster, oven, or skillet.
  2. While the bread is still warm, gently rub each slice with the garlic clove. This adds subtle garlic aroma without overpowering the crostini.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese over each toasted slice.
  4. Slice the kiwi into thin rounds and place one slice on top of each crostini.
  5. Fold the prosciutto strips loosely and arrange one piece on top of the kiwi.
  6. Lightly drizzle each crostini with honey.
  7. Garnish with a few chili threads for a delicate hint of heat and an elegant finish.
  8. Serve immediately while the crostini are crisp.

Notes

  • For the best texture, choose kiwi that is ripe but still slightly firm. Very soft kiwi can release excess juice and make the crostini soggy.
  • Whipped cream cheese spreads more easily and creates a lighter texture.
  • If you enjoy a sweet-spicy flavor combination, substitute regular honey with hot honey.
  • Crostini are best assembled shortly before serving to maintain their crisp texture.
