- 10 Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 4 ounces Prosciutto
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the whole grain baguette into 1/2 inch slices, yielding approximately 16 pieces.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush one side of each piece with a mixture of melted unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, finely chop the cherry tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add to the tomato mixture.
Add the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine.
Cut the prosciutto slices into approximately 2-inch pieces.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.
Top each slice with a spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
Place a piece of prosciutto on top of each bruschetta.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
