Prosciutto Crostini Recipe

These delicious appetizers will treat your guests with creamy provolone, delicate prosciutto, juicy tomatoes, and flavorful basil, all on a crispy, golden base.

Ingredients

To make these crostini, you’ll need the following ingredients (for about 20-22 slices).

• Baguettes – 2 small baguettes (about 20-22 slices)
• Olive Oil – 1/4 cup olive oil
• Prosciutto – 6 oz (170 grams) Italian Prosciutto
• Provolone Cheese – 3.5 oz (100 grams) Provolone cheese
• Tomatoes – 7 small tomatoes on the vine
• Fresh Basil – a handful fresh basil
• Salt – 1 tsp flaky sea salt (or kosher salt)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Slice the baguettes into 1/2-inch slices and brush each side with olive oil.

Step 2 – Grill the bread slices for a couple minutes on each side, on an electric grill, grill pan, or grill. Alternatively, bake the bread slices in the oven at 360°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes until crispy on the outside and slightly golden.

Step 3 – Add a thin slice of Provolone cheese to each piece of toast. I used a handheld cheese slicer but you can also use a sharp knife (carefully).

Step 4 – Slice the tomatoes thinly and sprinkle some salt on top.

Step 5 – Top the crostini with tomatoes and fresh basil.

Step 6 – Add the prosciutto on top.

You can serve them on a wooden board (as above) or on a slate board (pictured below).

They’re beautiful to look at and so tasty to bite into.

They will pair well with a wine like Sangiovese or Chianti.
