Ingredients

  • 1/2 small baguette (about 8 ounces), cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices

  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 12 fresh basil leaves
  • 4 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of each bread slice with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until pale golden, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let crostini cool completely.
