Proscuitto with Fig Jam Toasts


Since Jake bought a jar of fig jam at Cowgirl Creamery two weeks ago, we thought of making some sort of appetizer.  This seemed simple enough so we brought it over for a barbeque party.  I had to obviously try some fig jam before-hand to make sure it didn't have poison.  Phew.  It was safe to eat, afterall, not to mention tasty! :) Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
1 roll of French bread
1 package of proscuitto (sliced into 2 inch pieces)
extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 jar of fig jam

Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350°F.
2) Slice French bread into 1/4 inch slices diagonally
3) Place baguette slices in single layer on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
4) Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
5) Bake until lightly toasted for about five minutes.
6) Remove from oven and top with proscuitto and fig jam.
