This morning at the supermarket I noticed an interesting jar of sun-dried tomatoes pâté. I didn't give it much attention until at the charcuterie counter I saw an excellent prosciutto di Norcia at the supermarket that was, sadly, almost finished. This turn of events gave me an idea for a recipe, so I asked for a thick slice of that nice prosciutto, that ended up costing only 2 euros.
Ingredients for 2 people
- Wholemeal bread with cereals (500g).
- Sun-dried tomatoes pesto (120g).
- A thick slice of prosciutto (80g).
- "Bocconcini" Mozzarellas (160g).
- Extra virgin olive oil.
Preparation
- Heat up the oven to about 150 degs.
- Slice the bread, 2cm thick slices will do, and put it a bit in the oven, until it is crunchy.
- Cut the prosciutto in chunks and the mozzarelle in thinner slices.
- Take the bread out, spread some sun-dried tomatoes pesto on it and put prosciutto first, then the mozzarellas. Pour some little extra virgin olive oil as a topping.
- Put the bruschette in the oven until the mozzarelle melt down a little. They don't have to be stringy in the end, so a couple of heat time will be fine.
Result
Bruschtte are a nice and easy summer dish, to some extent even better than pizza. Pizza is great and all, but anybody can make bruschette in 5 minutes, with any flavor and for the cheapest price. Probably they're also healthier, but the taste alone does justify them.
