Baked Mozzarella Con Proscuitto Alla Caprese Recipe

Baked Mozzarella Con Proscuitto Alla Caprese

From xerxes 15 years ago

Slightly different than the usual caprese, this salad is simple yet elegant- a refreshing antipasto.

On a sheet of cling film (saran wrap) arrange the prosciutto slices in a line, overlapping each slice slightly (side by side, not end to end)
lay the mozzarella on top of the prosciutto to form a tube
wrap the ends of the prosciutto over the cheese one by one to form a sort of long loaf
now wrap the plastic wrap around all and form with your fingers into a tube about 1 to 1 1/2' long. In this way, you can form a circular tube or a square one
chill mozzarella and prosciutto for 30 min preheat oven to 350 degrees
slice the tomatoes and arrange on saucers as desired
coarsely chop the basil and set aside
remove the plastic and bake the mozzarella "log" for about 7-8 min on an ungreased baking sheet
slice the log into 3/4" medallions and place on tomato slices
place basil on each medallion, then drizzle olive oil on each.
dot the plate outside the medallions with the vinegar
grind pepper over all and serve
