Say hellooo to your next delicious holiday app idea: Farmer’s cheese and melon crostinis with crispy prosciutto and a lime chili crisp. Your guests are going to find it irresistible! I can’t think of a better combination than sweet melon and crispy prosciutto on top of crispy bread. With just a few ingredients these crostinis will be ready in no time, making them the perfect stress-free appetizer for your holiday gathering. You’re going need a French baguette (for the crispy crostini base!), farmers cheese, melon, prosciutto, chili crisp and lime juice! I partnered with Pure Flavor to use their Alonna™ Canary Melons for the perfect added sweetness. Not to mention how well it compliments the savory crunch of prosciutto. The creamy richness of farmer’s cheese is so delish and easily spreadable on the bread, not to mention the texture is divine. Don’t worry ff you don’t have a farmers cheese, you can simply substitute it with another creamy cheese like ricotta for equally delicious results! To top this dish off, add a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of chili crisp to add a perfect burst of flavor these crostinis! These crostinis are sure to become a new holiday tradition in your home.
