By not putting the sauces on the cracker, the cracker, cheese, meat and herbs will stay fresh and crispy.

You can substitute balsamic vinegar instead of balsamic reduction. This will give the crackers a little bit of a bite to them, instead of it being more of a sweet appetizer.

You can make your easy prosciutto appetizer using any type of crackers you like.

I recommend using artisan crackers. They hold up well, give the appetizer a crispy finish to them.
