Crostini are a classic appetizer with a million variations. This version combines goat cheese with Bionaturae’s Citrus Ginger Fruit Spread and prosciutto. The tangy, sweet, and salty flavors blend beautifully on the toasted bread.
On the Ingredients
- Goat cheese has a distinct creamy but crumbly texture and tangy flavor. Not only is it delicious, but goat cheese is also rich in nutrients. It also contains less lactose than cow milk cheese, making it more digestible for some who have lactose intolerance. Goat milk also mainly contains A2-type casein rather than A1. A1 can cause bloating and digestive discomfort like lactose does. (Read more about goat milk cheese).
-
Prosciutto is uncooked, unsmoked, and dry-cured ham. It is usually thinly sliced and served with complementary ingredients like cheeses and fruits.
