Prosciutto And Mozzarella Crostini Food

CROSTINI ALLA ROMANA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the slices of ciabatta on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven. Place the prosciutto slices and mozzarella on the crostini toast and return to the oven to melt the cheese, about 8 more minutes.
• Meanwhile combine the butter and the sage leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and starting to brown in spots and the sage leaves are crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the crostini to a serving plate. Drizzle the crostini with the sage butter and serve immediately.

PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the slices of bread on a baking sheet until lightly browned (about 10 minutes). The slices of bread may be toasted under a broiler or on a grill instead.
• Preheat broiler. Spread the slices with green-olive paste, top with slices of prosciutto and then with the mozzarella.
• Broil the cheese until it melts. Serve hot.

CURLY ENDIVE, PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA ON BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Brush 3 tablespoons of oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Wrap 1 curly endive and 1 slice of cheese with 1 slice of prosciutto, allowing the tops to extend 1-inch over 1 long side of the prosciutto. Arrange the crostini on a platter. Top each crostini with a prosciutto roll. Drizzle the vinaigrette over and serve.
• Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with more salt and pepper, if desired.

PROSCIUTTO & SAGE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Slice bread on the diagonal (eg. ///) approximately ½" thick. Place sliced bread in an even layer on a baking sheet.
• Brown ¼ cup of butter in a pan - when putting the butter in the pan add sage leaves (the number of bread slices you have), add salt and pepper to taste while allowing all ingredients to brown together in the butter. Remember, the prosciutto is a cured ham, thus there is salt already in the meat, do not add too much into your butter.
• Place one slice of prosciutto on each slice of bread - making sure the prosciutto is not hanging over a lot on the bread (kind of clump it, making little waves in the meat).
• Slice the mozzarella in ¼" thick slices (the number of bread slices you have), and place on top of the prosciutto.
• At 350°, bake the bread in the oven until the mozzarella is melted and just barely turning golden.
• Take the bread out of the oven, and spoon your browned butter over top of each slice of bread, don't over use the butter or everything will be mushy.
• Place one sage leave on top of each slice, and now you're ready to serve!
