Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Lightly brush each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Broil the bread slices for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
While the bread is toasting, slice the ripe tomato into thin, even slices.
Remove the bread from the oven and place them on a cutting board.
Lay two slices of prosciutto evenly across each piece of toasted bread.
Top the prosciutto with the sliced tomatoes, overlapping slightly if needed.
Sprinkle the tomato slices with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the tomatoes.
Drizzle an additional small amount of olive oil over the top, if desired.
Serve the open-faced sandwiches immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
