(NEW Recipe š½ļø) Baked Brie and Prosciutto Crostini + the Best Appetizers for Christmas
|
Hey Reader! If I could eat a dinner made of just appetizers, I would. I love the small bites, and tasting all different flavors and consistencies. When I host Christmas or dinner parties, I like to go all the way with a wide variety of appetizers. So here's the latest recipe I posted on the blog (we loved these crostini so much we already made them 2 more times this week), plus more Christmas themed appetizers to save! Baked Brie and Prosciutto CrostiniThese Baked Brie and Prosciutto Crostini are the perfect bite-sized appetizer: crisp toasted baguette, creamy brie cheese, and thin slices of prosciutto baked until beautifully crispy. The result is a warm, melty, savory crostini that feels elegant but takes only minutes to prepare.

It's one of the things I miss the most now that I live abroad. The menu for Sunday lunch was not very varied, but I loved the predictability. Lasagna, Pasta al Forno, Polenta, or Tortelli were the favorite first...
Hey Reader! It's no secret Ricotta cheese is one of my favorite ingredients.
