Fig Crostini with Grapes
If you love crostini with fig jam, then you’ll love this fig prosciutto crostini with grapes, goat cheese, and fresh-chopped rosemary!
Today we’re sharing one of our favorite winter appetizers, a beautiful plate of Fig Crostini with Grapes. They’re a yummy and festive starter for any gathering or holiday.
Easy appetizers with fig jam do not have to be complicated. Always start with crostini (toasted baguette slices)! Then add your favorite cheese, fruit, and a salty meat to create the perfect bite. You can also make fig and brie crostini if you’re not a goat cheese fan.
Fig Crostini with Grapes
I love this Fig and Grape Crostini Appetizer recipe that you can make at home and bring to a party! Think fall and winter parties! Will you be hosting this year, or were you invited to a party? Maybe my big board ideas are a little intimidating (yes, they are for large groups), so if you’re thinking “small” then this recipe is for you!
Why we love this recipe
- Perfect for small or large gatherings, it’s quick and easy to prepare.
- Simple ingredients.
- A nice blend of sweet and savory.
If you’re a Fig Newton lover like we are (the the fig bars that taste so good), then you’ll love this combination of figs and grapes. We always seem to have the ingredients on hand for fresh fig appetizers with prosciutto.
Gather these ingredients
- Red seedless grapes
- Fresh figs
- Goat cheese
- Prosciutto
- French baguette
- Olive oil
- Butter
- Garlic, crushed
- Fresh rosemary
- Salt
Rosemary is the herb of friendship, did you know that?
How do you make Fig Crostini with Grapes
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-low heat. When hot, add garlic and cook until lightly golden.
- Add grapes, figs, and rosemary and begin to reduce down on medium-low heat—season with salt to taste. When ingredients are tender, thick, and jammy, remove from heat and set aside.
- Toast the baguette slices under a broiler, with butter on each side, or, carefully in a toaster.
- When slices are golden (on both sides), spread goat cheese on top, followed by the grape and fig spread, and a thin slice of prosciutto wrapped around the whole appetizer.
- Serve warm or cold and enjoy!
Tips and substitutions:
We love the combo of grapes, figs, and goat cheese. We also love this Ricotta Lemon Basil Honey Bruschetta and Baked Lemon Pistachio Brie Recipe for a party! You can also try this Deviled Crab Dip! You may love a simple appetizer with crostini as the base, as you can add caramelized onions, pineapple, or butternut squash.
- Replace the goat cheese with brie or any other soft cheese spread.
- For the season, use blueberries, strawberries, peaches, or your favorite fruit.
- Instead of rosemary, for summer use fresh basil.
- Serve warm or cold and enjoy!
- For leftovers, they may be a little soggy, but you can store in an airtight container in the fridge overnight.
So many options!
So give these little bites (so pretty) a try; they are a great appetizer for a family get together or any holiday party.
They are the perfect blend of sweet and savory and so easy to make!
Enjoy!
