Sunday Brunch is a pleasing way to start the day and I wanted something quick and easy while I chatted with friends over coffee.
What can be better than the old-fashioned toasted cheese sandwich?
In Italian, “crostini” means “little toasts,” and it is a very accurate description of the food. Crostini are made by thinly slicing bread, typically plain white bread, and toasting or grilling so that it becomes crispy. The crostini can be drizzled with olive oil and salt and served plain, or dressed with an assortment of toppings and used as appetizers or garnishes on foods like soups.
Ingredients
Loaf of Bread
40 Gr. Butter
100 Gr. Prosciutto
250 Gr. Mozzarella
4 Anchovies
Black pepper
Method
Cut the bread into 8 thin slices, arrange them on a baking sheet and cover with mozzarella slices.
Bake in hot over until the cheese has started to melt and then remove.
Arrange the ham slices on top of four crostini and return to the oven for about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the butter in two separate pans.
Add the anchovies fillets to the butter in one of the pans and allow them to gently melt until creamy.
Grind black pepper in the other pan.
Pour the anchovy butter on the cheese crostini and the pepper butter on the ham crostini.
Serve hot!
