Ingredients:
1/2 baguette (or 1 demi-baguette), cut into 24 slices |
1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
2 tablespoon(s) lemon juice |
2 tablespoon(s) maple syrup |
2 ripe but firm bosc pears, halved, cored and cut into 24 wedges |
1 cup(s) lightly packed parsley leaves |
3/4 pound(s) leftover spiral-sliced ham (or another flavorful ham), cut into bite-sized pieces and warmed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush baguette slices all over with oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, until just crisp, 5 to 7 minutes; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and pepper to make a dressing. Toss pears in half the dressing and arrange in a single layer on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast, flipping pears halfway through, until tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Toss parsley with remaining dressing. Top each crostini with a piece of ham and then a wedge of pear and few leaves of parsley.
