Mozzarella, Peach and Raw Ham Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup diced fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 large peach, sliced into thin wedges
• 4 slices of raw ham
• 4 slices of rustic artisan bread, preferably Italian bread
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil.
3. Toast the bread slices in the preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, about 5-8 minutes.
4. While the bread is toasting, in a mixing bowl, toss the diced fresh mozzarella with sliced peaches and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sear the raw ham slices on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side or until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. Once the bread slices are toasted, assemble the toasts by layering the mozzarella and peach mixture on top of the bread slices.
7. Then, top the toasts with a slice of seared raw ham.
8. Drizzle the balsamic glaze on top of the toasts and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil on top.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
