- 8 ounces thin prosciutto
Instructions
- On a large baking sheet, lay sliced bread out in a single layer and brush the tops with olive oil.

- Spread a spoonful of goat cheese over each crostini piece, then top with a piece of prosciutto and 2 or 3 slices of pear. Serve immediately.
Notes
Bread - I used a crusty french bread loaf for the crostini in the photos, and it was great for a main-dish-sized version of this dish. If you're entertaining, though, a baguette will give you more crostini and bite-sized appetizers are always a great choice for guests.
Prosciutto - for an extra crunch you can serve crispy prosciutto, to do this you can bake the prosciutto at 375-degree oven for 10-15 minutes. If your crostini is extra crunchy, it’s best to use the regular prosciutto.
