Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer and brush with olive oil.
Toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
Spread about a teaspoon of fig jam on each slice. Top with a thin slice of Brie and a fold of prosciutto.
Return crostini to the oven and bake an additional 4–6 minutes, just until the Brie begins to melt.
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh thyme, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, or crushed nuts if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Let Brie come to room temperature before baking for better melt. Use day-old baguette for the best crunch. For a vegetarian version, skip the prosciutto and add pear slices or toasted nuts.
