Roman Style Crostini

From Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients

  1. 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

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the prosciutto slices and mozzarella on the crostini toast and return to the oven to melt the cheese, about 8 more minutes.
  4. Meanwhile combine the butter and the sage leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and starting to brown in spots and the sage leaves are crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the crostini to a serving plate. Drizzle the crostini with the sage butter and serve immediately.

Serves 4-6.
