Bruschetta with Prosciutto

An easy-to-prepare appetizer that will both decorate the festive table and give pleasure on a weekday. Miniature bruschetta sandwiches combine all the charm of an Italian snack: crispy toasted bread, rich flavors of melted cheese and ham, bright aromas of garlic and basil. First, fry the bread separately so that it is covered with a golden crust, and then put it in the oven with all the toppings. Serve the bruschetta with prosciutto while still warm.
