This tartine is a bit of a twist on the classic BLT. I’m using fresh, creamy burrata cheese, tomatoes right off the vine, and prosciutto. But the twist is frying the prosciutto, just like you would bacon. The salty flavor and tender crispiness are such a treat. And it’s a great way to use the last of your summer tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • Slices of good country Italian bread toasted
  • Burrata cheese
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Good prosciutto 
  • Butter or olive oil for toasting the bread
  • Basil (or regular) olive oil for drizzling
  • Salt to sprinkle on the tomatoes
  • Black pepper also for the tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Fry the prosciutto for just a few minutes on each side until it’s crispy
  2. Toast the bread
  3. On each slice of toast, spread a portion of the burrata cheese – thickness as desired
  4. Top each toast with slices of tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  5. Drizzle with olive oil
  6. Place slices of fried prosciutto on top of tomato slices
  7. Serve immediately

Notes

Don’t over-cook the prosciutto as, in my opinion, it can become just a little bitter.
