Ingredients
-
12 bias-cut slices (about 1/2 inch thick) baguette-style French bread
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 cup thinly sliced onion
-
1 ounce thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly brush both sides of bread slices with olive oil. Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until bread is crisp and lightly browned, turning once.

For caramelized onion, in a small skillet, melt butter. Add onion. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until onion is tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. Stir in prosciutto.

To assemble, spread fig preserves on toasted bread slices; top with onion mixture and taleggio cheese. Return bread slices to the baking sheet. Bake about 3 minutes or until bruschetta is heated through and cheese is softened. Serve warm or cool. Makes 12 servings.
