Prosciutto and Mozzarella Crostini

Hubby is finally home after being away for a month. 

So, I decided to make something special for dinner!

I don't think he miss Italy that much, but maybe he missed the food even just a little bit?

So that's what I made!

This Appetizer was so good.

So easy to make.

Perfect to pair with wine.

Let me know what you guys think!

Prosciutto and Mozzarella Crostini

INGREDIENTS 

1 loaf french bread or large baguette, sliced 1/2 inch 

1 large fresh mozzarella ball, sliced into 10 thin rounds 

3-4 tbsps olive oil 

1 handful Arugula greens 

10 slices Prosciutto

Balsamic vinegar, for drizzling

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Turn Boiler to High. Cut baguette into 10 (1/2-in) slices at an angle for more surface width. Put slices on a baking sheet. Pour olive oil in a small bowl and use a silicone oil brush to spread over one side of the bread.

 2. Place pan under broiler for 3 minutes. Remove pan and add a mozzarella slice to each toasted bread slice. Place under broiler for 2 more minutes or until desired darkness. 

3. The mozzarella should only be slightly melted. It will continue to melt after removed from the heat. Ribbon one thin slice of Prosciutto onto each toasted bread. Followed by arugula leaves. Drizzle a small amount of balsamic vinegar on top. Serve immediately. 

Enjoy!!

Time for some drinks.

Happy Weekend!
