Ingredients

  • 1 demi baguette you can find these in the bakery, I also like using the crusty bake at home ones
  • 3-4 slices fresh mozzarella cut nice and thick
  • 4-6 slices thin-sliced prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup arugula
  • 3 tomato slices optional
  • fresh chopped basil optional
  • reduced balsamic glaze to taste (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Gently toast the demi baguette by warming it in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, just until the edges are lightly crisp but the inside stays soft.
    Slice open while warm.

  • Layer the mozzarella on the bottom half of the baguette, arranging 3-4 thick slices so they cover the bread evenly.

  • Add the prosciutto, draping 4-6 thin slices over the mozzarella so they slightly overlap.
