From Sitka, Alaska, come these delightfully rich toasts covered with crisp nuts and bits of salty prosciutto, contributed by reader Patrice Reinhardt. It's an old family recipe, says Reinhardt, who adds that the butter is crucial to its appeal: "No substitutes."

 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
 1 cup finely chopped prosciutto slices (6 oz.)
 1 cup freshly grated parmesan
 1 cup pine nuts
 1 garlic clove, minced
 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, plus a few small leaves for garnish
 2 baguettes, sliced thinly on the diagonal
