Artichoke, Bean & Prosciutto Crostini

Directions

Put an oven rack in the center of the oven.

Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃).

Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or grease with butter or line with baking mat.

Lay the prosciutto in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 11 minutes until crispy.

Let cool for 8 to 10 minutes.

On another baking sheet, place the bread slices in a single layer.

Using a pastry brush, brush the bread with ¼ cup of the olive oil.

Bake until golden, about 12 minutes.

In a food processor, add the artichoke hearts, beans, cheese, basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Pulse until the mixture is chunky.

With the processor running, gradually add the remaining ¼ cup of olive oil.

Transfer the artichoke mixture onto the crostini.

Crumble the prosciutto and sprinkle on top.

Drizzle with extra oil and serve.
