Description

This easy Italian dish is really versatile. It can be served as an appetizer, a light lunch, a side dish or even a salad and can be ready in about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• 8 oz. crusty Italian style bread (like Ciabatta)
• extra virgin olive oil
• 8 oz. burrata cheese
• 3 oz. prosciutto (or salami)
• 1 c. grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
• 3 oz. sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/3 c. olives, your favorite
• 2 t. capers, rinsed
• basil leaves, handful, torn
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps

1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. Tear bread up into pieces; arrange crusty side down, on a sheet pan. Drizzle on extra virgin olive oil, spreading the oil over the soft, fleshy side of the bread. Broil for several minutes, watching carefully for the bread to get some color.
3. Arrange the toasted bread on a large serving platter; add the burrata, prosciutto and tomatoes; top with remaining ingredients.
