These easy to make straccietella and ham crostinis have a perfect amount of kick from spicy jam!
These Stracciatella and Ham Crostinis with Spicy Jam are a savory-sweet appetizer that brings elegance with very little effort. Creamy stracciatella cheese is spooned onto toasted bread, topped with thin slices of salty ham, and finished with a dollop of spicy jam—think chili pepper or hot pepper fig jam—for just the right amount of heat and sweetness.
The contrast of flavors and textures makes these crostinis irresistible: creamy, crunchy, salty, and spicy all in one bite. They’re perfect for entertaining, whether you’re hosting a cozy dinner party or putting together a quick and impressive holiday spread.
