Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
1 Calabrian chile
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 tablespoons good-quality salted butter, softened
One 16- to 18-inch baguette, split and warmed
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1/4 peeled and seeded ripe cantaloupe, very thinly sliced (a vegetable peeler works well)

Steps:

  • For the basil drizzle: Combine the basil, parsley, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon juice and chile in a mini food processor and pulse to make a chunky paste. Add the olive oil and process until smooth and bright green.
  • For the prosciutto, cantaloupe and butter sandwich: Spread the butter on both cut sides of the baguette. Drizzle the bottom piece with a tablespoon or so of the basil drizzle. Layer the prosciutto and cantaloupe on the bottom piece of the baguette, ruffling and folding the prosciutto as you go. Drizzle a tablespoon of the basil drizzle over the top. Drizzle the cut side of the top piece with 1/4 cup or so of the basil drizzle. Place the top piece of baguette on the prosciutto and cantaloupe and cut into 2 sandwiches using a serrated knife. Serve the extra basil drizzle on the side or reserve for another use.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sandwich turned out perfectly. The cantaloupe was ripe and juicy, the prosciutto was salty and flavorful, and the butter was creamy and rich. The basil drizzle was the perfect finishing touch.
