Surprise guests at your next party with crisp garlicky toasts topped with sweet fresh figs, salty prosciutto and melty mozzarella. With the explosion of flavor in these little bites, you’d never guess how easy they come together!
Soon to be known as your favorite non-recipe recipe! 🙂
I’ve debated for over two months whether to share this recipe on the blog or not. It goes against many food blogger standards in the way that a.) there aren’t actually any specific measurements and b.) the only two pictures I have I took with my phone. and c.) fig season is pretty much over. BUT I’ve seriously dreamt about these babies non-stop since I made them back in September and they’re just too good not to share. And we’ll just ignore the fact that I haven’t posted a recipe in almost six months. Ha!

2. Spread the top of each slice with garlic butter.
3. Top with pieces of sliced prosciutto.
4. Add sliced fresh figs (or chopped dried figs or a spoonful of jam) and mozzarella.
5. Place bread slices on a cookie sheet and broil on low for 10-15 minutes (or until cheese is melty and toasts are crisp around the edges).

And just trust me on the marinara…you WON’T regret it!
What is your go-to non-recipe for parties?
What is your favorite dip?
I’m a sucker for Ranch!
There was once I thought mozerella balls were mushrooms and ibwas in a buffet linen I grabbed like 10 and the guy behind me kissed his lips and i didn’t understand what was wrong with him, in fact I was annoyed he was so rude, it wasn’t until I bit until my first one until I realized it was cheese and went,
“…oohh…” And fit the puzzles together.
Haha! The case of the mystery buffet food…love it!
Is it weird that all I can think about is what a great ice cream flavor this would be?
Seriously.
Bahahaha! I love you!
YUMMY!!!
Girrrlll you could have just played it up that today is the start of Fig Week! But you already knew that right? 😉
Oh yeah! I toooooootally knew that! I was just seeing if YOU did! You passed the test! 😉
These have every flavor I could ever want…sweet, salty, savory and garlic! We do a huge spread of appetizers for Christmas Eve every year so I’m always on the hunt for something easy/delicious for a crowd.
I love making crostinis with pesto and feta cheese. Yum 🙂
Ohhh, I’ve never thought to pair pesto and feta. I may just have to try that…I’m pretty sure there’s nothing out there it doesn’t go well with! #fetamakeseverythingbetta 😉
Oh no.. I think I would eat about a million of these ;D
I love non-recipe recipes. And this one looks AMAAAAAZING. Putting it on the list for Thanksgiving appetizers ;).
Awww, thanks love! You just made me smile so big! 😀 <- see? 😉
Non Recipes are the best! My Non Recipe is Flaky Pastry rolled with spanish smoked ham and baked in the oven. Probably no nutrients at all, but oh sooooo good!
Oh dude! You just gave me an idea! I’m definitely gonna have to make some ham and cheese roll-ups soon! 😀
