Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces Gruyere cheese
- 8 slices Thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 16 thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick each.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5-6 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
While the baguette slices are toasting, shred the Gruyere cheese using a grater and cut each prosciutto slice in half lengthwise.
Once the baguette slices have cooled slightly, layer each slice with a pinch of shredded Gruyere cheese, followed by a folded strip of prosciutto.
Top each appetizer with a small handful of arugula, gently pressing it down so it adheres.
Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
