Ingredients
  

Sandwich Build
  • 1 loaf rustic baguette or ciabatta
  • 6 slices Prosciutto di Parma thinly sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 2 cups arugula fresh
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 0.25 cup parmesan cheese shaved

Equipment

  • Bread knife
  • Cutting board
  • Toaster oven or Skillet

Method
 

  1. Slice the baguette horizontally. Optionally toast lightly in a skillet or oven until warm.
  2. Drizzle the bottom half of the bread with olive oil.
  3. Layer the fresh arugula on the bottom half.
  4. Place slices of fresh mozzarella over the greens.
  5. Drape the prosciutto slices over the cheese, ruffling them for texture.
  6. Top with shaved parmesan cheese.
  7. Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze.
  8. Close the sandwich, press down gently, cut in half and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure you drain the fresh mozzarella well before assembling to prevent soggy bread. Best served with an espresso or sparkling water.
