Cranberry & Prosciutto Crostini

Jump to Recipe

Let’s talk holiday appetizers! I’m so excited to share my favorite Thanksgiving appetizer (also great for Christmas), these Cranberry & Prosciutto Crostini. They’re easy to make and so delicious. Plus, you’ll find tons of entertaining recipes and ideas from my favorite bloggers…

Cranberry and Prosciutto Crostini

The Ultimate Thanksgiving Appetizer

Hooray! I’ve been so excited to share this recipe with y’all since the day I made it! It’s the perfect Thanksgiving appetizer (and straight on into the December holidays). In fact, today, I’ve teamed up with some of my blogging besties to share LOTS of fabulous Thankgsiving inspirations from recipes to entertaining ideas. These are ALSO great for Friendsgiving celebrations.

The thing about Thanksgiving is you spend a lot of time in the kitchen (or waiting around if you’re not cooking). You can smell the amazing aromas in the kitchen, but you just have.to.wait. That’s no fun, which is why everyone needs at least one easy Thanksgiving appetizer to have on hand.

Thanksgiving Appetizer

Cranberry & Prosciutto Crostini

These cranberry & prosciutto crostinis will keep all the hands from sneaking bites of the Thanksgiving meal before it’s time! Place them on a pretty platter or cake stand, serve, and enjoy!

You can often find pre-made crostini rounds in groceries or markets, but it’s easy to make your own too. Just use a simple baguette and cut thin slices. Brush the rounds with a little olive oil and toast for 5-6 minutes at 425 degrees F. Just watch carefully as ovens can vary. Once they’re toasted up, you’re ready for the toppings!

Cranberry and Prosciutto Crostini - Thanksgiving Appetizer Idea

I wanted a Thanksgiving appetizer that gets everyone excited about the meal to come, but wasn’t too filling. You have a big meal ahead. A light bite is perfect. These Thanksgiving appetizers are topped with goat cheese, cranberry sauce, and prosciutto. Garnish with thyme leaves and ta-da! Your friends and family will think you’ve gotten all fancy, but truly, it’s easy!

Prosciutto Crostini

Before I get to the recipe (it’s below, don’t worry), I wanted to share the rest of today’s Thanksgiving excitement with my blogging besties. If you’re throwing a Friendsgiving, WE HAVE GOT YOU COVERED!

Friendsgiving Recipes & Entertaining Ideas

  • Julie has made an amazing Onion Tart that’s a perfect side dish or starter!
  • Cyd whipped up the most delicious Green Bean Casserole Puffs. Green Bean Casserole is my favorite so no doubt I’ll be enjoying these!
  • My friend Chelsea is all about the pretty details so you must check out her Mini Bouquet Thanksgiving Place Cards!
  • You can’t host a Friendsgiving (or Thanksgiving) without a fabulous cocktail, in my opinion. Eden is sharing her recipe for an Easy Apple Crisp Cocktail!
  • I love the creative recipes that Michael shares, including this holiday side dish; Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin!
  • Don’t worry, we have something sweet to finish, Lexy’s delicious Strawberry Pie with Fringe Pie Crust Design (too cute)!

Now if you’re wondering about my contribution, it’s these Cranberry & Prosciutto Crostini for the ultimate Thanksgiving appetizer! Grab the recipe below…

You might have noticed that the cranberry sauce above is linked in the recipe card. You can also find that cranberry sauce post here! It’s my absolute favorite cranberry sauce, and so easy. You can certainly use store-bought cranberry or berry preserves, but my homemade recipe takes only minutes – truly!

I hope you’ll check out the links above to visit my blogging pals for tons of Thanksgiving & Friendsgiving inspiration! And of course, enjoy the recipe for these crostini!

    Wish I would have seen these at Thanksgiving time. I’m actually going to a party tonight where I could have made these but I already bought everything for a charcuterie board so I’m going with that; however, I willcertainly use them for Christmas appetizers. These look wonderful.

    I made this tonight and it was great! I did a French baguette, prosciutto, plain goat cheese and a cranberry sauce from a can. Yes! A can. Never really did the whole cranberry sauce thing but after looking at recipe, knew this was going to incredible flavor-wise. It was nothing short of exceptional!
    I will be making this again and again.
    Made it for a pitch-in tonight where host was serving pasta.

    How would you suggest doing these if you are making them to take somewhere? Putting them together before hand, or right before you are ready to serve them? Thanks!

    Any other ideas for a pretty garnish? I know my guests are not fans on thyme.

      You can use rosemary or truly any other herb. You could also use a microgreen for the color without an herb flavor. Or leave it off completely.
