Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Chop pistachios roughly and then add to a saute pan over medium heat. Toast until fragrant and lightly golden brown, stirring frequently so that they don't burn. Set aside to cool.
Place the baguette slices onto a small baking sheet and toast in your preheated oven for 6-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes.
Place the toasted crostini on a platter, then add a half slice of prosciutto, 3-4 slices of fig, and about 1/2 tablespoon of Gorgonzola cheese to each piece. Drizzle with honey and top with toasted pistachios. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: assembled crostini should be eaten the same day. Store toasted baguettes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The figs, Gorgonzola cheese, and prosciutto can be stored in separate containers in the fridge for up to 3 days before using to assemble more crostini.
