Prosciutto and Mozzarella Sandwich

An easy prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich with fresh tomato and basil on a baguette makes the perfect picnic lunch! All you need is 6 ingredients and less than 10 minutes for the most delicious Italian sandwich.
Servings 1 sandwich
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 4 minutes
Total Time 9 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3.5 oz baguette
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small vine tomato
  • 2 slices prosciutto di parma
  • 6 fresh basil leaves washed and dried

Instructions

  • First, prepare the sandwich bread. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and place open face on a baking sheet. Brush both halves with extra virgin olive oil, then broil on LOW until very lightly toasted, about 4 minutes.
  • Next, cut the mozzarella and tomato into thin slices, about a quarter-inch thick or less. Use a very sharp knife and work slowly to achieve consistently sized slices.
  • Once the bread is toasted, assemble the sandwich. First, lay one slice of prosciutto on the bottom half of the sandwich. Next, alternate slices of mozzarella, tomato, and basil, working your way from one end of the baguette to the other (see photos in the blog post above). Finally, top with another slice of prosciutto and close the sandwich.
  • Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper to bring on a picnic.

Notes

Serving suggestions: You can easily prep this sandwich and pack it for a picnic lunch by wrapping it in parchment paper or foil. Refrigerate or pack in a cooler if it will be a few hours until you eat.
