Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375ºF. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Toast until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the fennel, parsley, lemon juice, the remaining tablespoon of oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Divide the prosciutto evenly among the toasted baguette slices and top with the slaw.
