Peach & Prosciutto Appetizers

So these appetizers don't really have a name, but they are so good. My sister made them for Christmas Eve last year and I have now made them for book club, baby showers, girls nights, Thanksgiving and, of course, Christmas. They are easy to make and serve and look pretty fancy. Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Ingredients | 1 baguette or Italian loaf 1 package plain goat cheese 1 package prosciutto 1 jar peach preserves Balsamic vinegar 1. Slice baguette or loaf into 1" thick pieces. Lay on cookie sheet. 2. Add a smear of goat cheese to each. 3. Add a dollup of peach preserves. 4. Squish 1/2 piece of prosciutto on top. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Move to serving tray and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Enjoy! Absolutely delicious.
