These Whipped Goat Cheese Prosciutto Crostini are the perfect appetizer. They are smothered in whipped goat cheese and topped with prosciutto. Your tastebuds will thank you once they get a bite of the sweet, spicy and tangy flavors!
These are the funnest little appetizer and they are so delicious. The whipped goat cheese is made from goat cheese, lemon juice, honey, toasted sage, and red pepper flakes for a sweet, spicy, and tangy flavor.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and I will definitely be cranking these out for our small get together. They can be made start to finish in 20 minutes, which are my favorite kind of appetizers!
To be totally honest, I just starting getting into Prosciutto the last five years or so. I really like crisping it up in the oven or using it in a dish like Chicken Saltimbocca. It is so delicious and it just feels a little classier than bacon. Don't get me wrong, I love some dang bacon!!

- They are filled with flavor from the sweet, spicy, tangy whipped goat cheese to the salty prosciutto
- They are just a bit on the fancy side and your guests will think you really know your stuff
- These little guys only take 20 minutes to make, most of which is in the oven
Tips for the Recipe:
This appetizer works best served immediately after baking, hot and fresh. If you need to bring it to a party, you could prep the goat cheese and prosciutto ahead of time and do the toasting at the event.
The Ingredients for Whipped Goat Cheese Prosciutto Crostini:
Whipped Goat Cheese- Made with plain goat cheese, honey, toasted sage, red pepper flakes and lemon juice for tangy, sweet and spicy flavors
Prosciutto-For a crispy salty touch
French Bread with olive oil and salt- For a crispy, rich and salty base
How to Make It:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Line a large cookie sheet, or two half sheets, with parchment paper.
Cut your french bread into ½ inch slices and place onto cookie sheet. Brush each side lightly in olive oil and sprinkle on flake salt.
On the other half of cookie sheet, or the second sheet, lay out the slices of prosciutto and place the minced sage off to one side.
Place both sheets in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
While this is cooking, into a food processor add the goat cheese, lemon juice, honey, and red pepper flakes. Pulse about 10 times until it looks very smooth & whipped in texture.
Once the sage has come out of the oven, mix it into the whipped goat cheese. Break up the prosciutto into smaller pieces. We will need a piece for each slice of bread.
Spread the whipped goat cheese onto each bread piece and top with prosciutto.
Bake for another 5 minutes at 400 degrees.
Once it comes out, place on a serving dish and top with drizzled honey and sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top.
Enjoy!
