Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 1/2-inch thick slices ciabatta bread
12 slices thinly sliced prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into thin slices
3 tablespoons butter
6 sage leaves
Pinch salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

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.

WHITE BEAN AND PROSCIUTTO CROSTINI WITH SAGE



White Bean and Prosciutto Crostini with Sage image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 30 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped, plus 2 whole cloves
3/4 cup finely diced prosciutto
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
4 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
2 baguettes, sliced on the bias
1/4 cup finely chopped sage

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor combine the 3 smashed garlic cloves, prosciutto, crushed red pepper, and 3 cans of beans. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and puree until smooth. If the mixture seems too thick add more olive oil; the mixture should be fairly loose. Taste to see if the mixture needs salt (it probably will). Add the remaining can of beans and pulse to combine (the mixture should be a little bit coarse). Taste again to see if it needs salt. It should be creamy and a little chunky and really well flavored. Remove from the food processor to a large bowl and reserve at room temperature.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Grill the baguette slices on both sides on the preheated grill pan. When the bread looks slightly charred and is crispy remove them and rub each crostini with the raw garlic cloves.
  • Top each toast with a big schmear of the bean puree and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with sage and arrange on serving platters to serve. Bravissimo!

PROSCIUTTO & SAGE CROSTINI

Provided by SpicyGodess

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 rustic baguette
prosciutto, 1 per slice bread
1 fairly good quality fresh mozzarella ball (ovolini)
fresh sage leaf
1/4 cup butter
salt and pepper

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!

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor. Look for prosciutto that is dry-cured and has a deep red color.
  • Use fresh sage leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage, but use less since it is more concentrated.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when baking the crostini. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the crostini while they are baking so that they don't burn.
  • Serve the crostini warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed when fresh.

Prosciutto sage crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be ready in under 30 minutes. These crostini are perfect for serving at parties, potlucks, or as a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover prosciutto.
