Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 diagonal slices (1/2-inch-thick) baguette bread
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 head of curly endive or frisee leaves, separated into 2-inch strips
1 (7-ounce) ball fresh water-packed mozzarella cheese, drained, cut into 18 thin slices
18 paper-thin slices prosciutto
2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinaigrette, recipe follows
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

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.

I'm allergic to prosciutto. Is there a substitute that I can use?

This recipe is a bit too expensive for my budget. I think I'll try a different recipe that uses less expensive ingredients.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bruschetta turned out soggy. I think I may have used too much olive oil.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some additional seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of endive, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The prosciutto and mozzarella really helped to balance out the bitterness of the endive.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover curly endive. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

The flavors in this dish are amazing. The bitterness of the endive is perfectly balanced by the salty prosciutto and creamy mozzarella.

This bruschetta recipe is a winner! The combination of curly endive, prosciutto, and mozzarella is perfect, and the balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that really brings the dish together. I will definitely be making this again.
