Ingredients

• 4 slices rustic-style bread (e.g. sourdough or country loaf)
  
  

• 3–4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
  

• 1 clove garlic
  
  

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  
  

• Black pepper, to taste
  
  

• 4 slices cheese (Parmesan, mozzarella, etc.) or about 4 oz cheese
  
  

• 4 slices prosciutto
  
  

• Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
  
  

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 400 °F. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle both sides with olive oil. Bake for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy yet still slightly soft inside.
  
  

• Once toasted, gently rub each slice with the garlic clove.
  
  

• Season with kosher salt (~¼ tsp per slice) and a pinch of black pepper.
  
  

• Top each slice with cheese (approx. 1 oz) and a slice of prosciutto.
  
  

• Garnish with basil if desired. Serve warm, and enjoy!
