Ingredients

  • 12 1/2-inch thick slices ciabatta bread
  • 12 slices thinly sliced prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into thin slices
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 6 sage leaves
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the slices of ciabatta on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven. Place the prosciutto slices and mozzarella on the crostini toast and return to the oven to melt the cheese, about 8 more minutes.

Meanwhile combine the butter and the sage leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and starting to brown in spots and the sage leaves are crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the crostini to a serving plate. Drizzle the crostini with the sage butter and serve immediately.

    Incredible appetizer

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    there really isn't much not to like about this recipe - it's melted cheese and butter on top of prosciutto and toasted bread.... amazing, obviously. the only thing i would say is to make sure to cut the cheese on the thinner side (i did that the second time i made these, and it really melted a lot better), and not to make the full recipe if there are only a couple of you. these crostini are very, very filling, and it's hard to really want to eat anything else when you have them, so if you serve these as an appetizer, i would say that you shouldn't plan on any more than two per person if you want people to eat all the other stuff you made!Read more

    Two E's I love: Excellent and Easy

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Made these for a Labor Day weekend gathering--nothing left on the plate! Good thing I tried one in the kitchen before... serving them. I took the advice of another reviewer and put some of the sage butter on the toast. Very tasty. I made a large batch of the sage butter--have sage in my herb garden--and froze in small portions. Nice recipe. Read more

    What??????????????

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    are you even serouis? this was the best cheese bread i have ever had! the sage butter is out of this world. i have looked up... atleast 50 recipes that have sage in them, i think Giada made me love sage. Very simple to make, only suggestion would be to make sure you serve them right away or hold off on pouring the sage butter over the bread until ready to eat. the last couple we had were soggy but they had sat for a bit while we ate.Read more
