Caprese Prosciutto Crostini

I have mastered the midnight snack, y’all.

Around one in the morning, I snuck my way back to the kitchen for a snack, having no idea what I was going to make. What I really wanted, was buttery toast. But we were almost out of my favorite artisan bread, and what was left was on the verge of stale.

So I cut off the last usable piece of bread, and popped it in the toaster. As it was toasting, I looked around to see what I could throw on top of it.

We had pesto for dinner a few nights ago, and our basil leaves were starting to go bad, so I chiffonaded some basil and decided to make some caprese to top my toast.

I pulled out a slice of buffalo mozzarella and thinly sliced some cherry tomatoes. As I was rooting around in the fridge, I found a package of prosciutto with one last piece inside — naturally, I was gonna throw that on top.

To plate, I pulled my bread out of the toaster and added my buffalo mozzarella on top. At this point, I sprinkled salt and grinded pepper on top with a quick drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

I then rolled my prosciutto and placed it on top of the mozzarella, adding the tomatoes after, along with the chiffonaded basil and another sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Delicious. *chef’s kiss*
