Instructions

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the baguette on a cutting board and cut it into 16 thin slices. Lay them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush oil on the bread slices and add salt and pepper (if desired).
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp.
Meanwhile, cut the prosciutto slices in half and prep them to place on top of the crostini.

Use a butter knife to spread a layer of cream cheese on the toasted crostini, then add one prosciutto slice to each of the bread slices.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
