Wine Tip
Prosecco
When chilled, this crisp and light sparkling wine is perfect with finger food. It harmonizes wonderfully with the slight tartness of the goat cheese and works delightfully with the Parma ham.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 355°F. Cut baguette into slices and place on a baking tray with baking paper. Brush the slices with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for approx. 10 – 12 min.
