1/2
cup olive oil
3
tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1
large garlic clove minced
8
ounces thinly-sliced prosciutto
10
ounces thinly-sliced whole-milk mozzarella cheese
12
tomato slices
12
large fresh basil leaves
16
ounces ciabatta bread - (13" by 6 1/2" by 1 1/2") halved horizontally
Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in small bowl to blend; season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Layer prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil over bottom of bread. Drizzle lightly with dressing, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press top of bread over. Cut bread equally into 4 sandwiches. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill sandwiches until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, pressing occasionally to compact with large spatula, about 5 minutes per side. This recipe yields 4 servings.
