Party Panache, Nectarine Brioche with Prosciutto, basil & balsamic

How about a recipe for something that looks fancy,
tastes fabulous
and is perfect for so many occasions?
It’s sweet creamy tangy salty cheesy goodness all in one
This is a version of the ever popular crostini, but instead of using a hard slice of baguette, I chose a softer brioche loaf for the base
It’s topped with a generous layer of ricotta, sprinkled with bleu cheese crumbles {optional} topped with fresh nectarine slices and prosciutto
Under the broiler it goes for 4-5 minutes until the brioche edges are toasted, the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese is melted
Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze and top with fresh basil
There! And you didn’t even break a sweat!
Fancy & festive, yet easy enough to make for yourself for lunch
This would be great for showers, teas, luncheons, parties, BBQs, any summer gathering!
Look for balsamic glaze near the vinegar in your grocery store
or buy it online here
or it’s easy to make your own, see recipe here
