Ham and Roasted Pear Crostini
Makes 2 dozen
Time 45 min
Though these small bites are perfectly tasty made with an ordinary French baguette, choose a whole wheat or seeded one for a bit more flavor.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1/2 baguette (or 1 demi-baguette), cut into 24 slices
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 ripe but firm pears, halved, cored and cut into 24 wedges
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 3/4 pound leftover spiral-sliced ham (or another flavorful ham), cut into bite-sized pieces and warmed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Brush baguette slices all over with oil and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Bake, flipping halfway through, until just crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and pepper to make a dressing.
Toss pears in half the dressing and arrange in a single layer on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roast, flipping pears halfway through, until tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Toss parsley with remaining dressing.
Top each crostini with a piece of ham and then a wedge of pear and few leaves of parsley.
