Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), room temperature
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, packed (about 2 ounces), rinsed well, and dried
1/2 garlic clove
3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon pine nuts
8 ounces sliced prosciutto
1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese
2 loaves rustic bread (about 2 pounds), cut into 48 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Make the pesto butter: Combine butter, basil, garlic, Parmesan, and pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade; process until blended. Set aside. Lay prosciutto slices flat on a piece of plastic wrap, and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove prosciutto from freezer; use a 2 1/4-inch round cutter to cut into rounds. Slice mozzarella 1/8 inch thick, and cut into rounds. Cut bread using the same cutter, being sure to remove all the crust.

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Pesto:
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove
2 cups (lightly packed) fresh basil leaves (about 3 1/2 ounces)
Sandwiches:
8 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices country-style white bread
Olive oil (for brushing)
Citrus Tapenade
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • For pesto:
  • Toast walnuts in small skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring often. Cool. Puree walnuts, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and garlic in processor to paste, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl. Add half of basil leaves; puree. Add remaining basil; blend until coarse puree forms. Season pesto to taste with salt and pepper.
  • For sandwiches:
  • Brush 1 side of each bread slice with olive oil. Heat griddle or heavy large skillet over medium-high heat; grill bread, oiled side down, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer grilled bread to clean work surface; let stand until cool. Turn 4 bread slices over (grilled side down) and spread thin layer of Citrus Tapenade evenly over each. Top with prosciutto slices, then mozzarella cheese slices. Drizzle with pesto. Drizzle 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar over ungrilled side of each of 4 remaining bread slices. Place bread, grilled side up, atop sandwich filling. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for flavorful prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and ripe citrus fruits.
  • Make the tapenade ahead of time so that the flavors have time to meld. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the sandwiches in a panini press or on a stovetop griddle.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides, such as a salad, soup, or chips.
