Why not take your appetizer to the next level with this Spanish Serrano Ham and Cured Cheese Bruschetta. A fantastic flavour of aged cheese and thinly sliced Serrano on top of crisp bread!
Well friends we are rapidly approaching that time of year when we’ll be busting out the party canapes. I personally love all things small and cute. I believe finger food can be the centerpiece of any occasion.
And Bruschetta is always a great place to start! This Spanish style Bruschetta was a total hit and I served some of my Oven Roasted Italian Green Peppers with this spread and they were great too! And I’ve served them in the past alongside my Empanada de Carne (Spiced Beef Patties), a real hit! Next time I think a pitcher of my Summer Sangria would be great as well.
If you aren’t into serving bruschetta, why not! There are endless options of what you can put on top of a piece of crisp bread. Anything. I linked a few below for you, if these aren’t your thing. But these really are amazing.
I live here in Southern Spain where Serrano Ham and Cured Cheese are local obviously. So, for me, these items are expensive or difficult to find. But you might be able to find them in your supermarket as well. And if not, just use another type of aged cheese and salty ham. Easy.

Notes About The Spanish Serrano Ham and Cured Cheese Bruschetta
- Like I just said, if you can’t find these products in your supermarket, substitute another type of strong aged cheese and thin sliced ham. The Italian prosciutto would work really well.
- These are fantastic served fresh. I would recommend you crisp the bread and assemble just before serving.
Give them a try if you are looking for something a little different than Tomato Bruschetta. If you make them and love them, let me know. And let me know if you don’t like them….hahaha.
Have a great day and I’ll be back real soon with more delicious food.
Happy cooking friends.
