Bruschetta di Prosciutto
- 6 slices rustic country-style or sourdough bread, thickly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic peeled
- 1/4 cup best available virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 pound prosciutto
- Toast the bread in a toaster or oven until it is very brown.
- Immediately after removing the bread from the toaster, rub a garlic clove over the entire surface of 1 side.
- Each slice should use up about 1/4 to 1/3 of a clove.
- (Be careful, when the garlic meets the toast's hot surface, it will create fumes that sting your eyes, just like an onion.)
- Generously drizzle olive oil over the top of each slice.
- Sprinkle with salt and a generous amount of pepper.
- Top with 1 or 2 slices of prosciutto.
- Slice into 1-inch strips, or quarters, and serve immediately.
