New Year’s Eve Soirée + Green Figs, Prosciutto & Blue Cheese Topped Crostini

Oh the new year. It ushers in feeling of renewal, energy and a fresh start. As soon as the clock strikes midnight everyone gets another chance to make the upcoming year their greatest year yet! Tomorrow night I’ll be hosting my very first New Year’s Eve Soirée. There will be confetti, horns, hats, champagne, Cards Against Humanity, and (of course) delicious food. I mean, what’s a party without the food?

This year I’ve teamed up with the Food Bloggers of Canada to pull together a pretty awesome menu. From cocktails and appetizers, to desserts and favours, my guests will not be leaving with an empty stomach. Head on over to the FBC blog where you can find my full New Year’s Eve Soirée menu!

Included in my FBC menu is one of my most popular recipes, a delicious Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Crostini. Due to it’s popularity I thought I’d offer up a tasty variation using rich and flavourful blue cheese.
