Fig & Apple Bruschetta

A sweet and savory twist on bruschetta. This combination is surprising addicting. The fig jam has a honey like flavor that compliments the apple and it’s all brought together by the rich and creamy mascarpone.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 baguette sliced into ½ inch slices
  • Olive oil
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 honey crisp apple
  • lemon
  • 4 oz fig jam
  • 3 oz prosciutto sliced into 1-1/2 in strips (optional but highly recommended)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Brush both slides of each slice of bread lightly with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes, flipping once. Cool.
  3. Quarter the apples and then remove the core. Slice into 1/8-1/4 inch slices. Toss with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. If using prosciutto, start with a really thin layer of mascarpone cheese on the baguette. Top with prosciutto. Top with more mascarpone, about ½-1 tablespoon. Spread with a ½ teaspoon or so of fig jam. Top with an apple slice.
  5. Serve.
