Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Burrata Pesto Sandwich
- Begin by slicing the French baguette or ciabatta in half lengthwise, using a serrated bread knife for a clean cut. Scoop out some of the soft bread from the top half to create a cavity for holding the delicious fillings.
- Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil on the cut sides of both halves of the bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat or set your broiler to high, then place the bread cut sides down. Toast for about 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of fresh basil pesto liberally on the bottom half of the sandwich. On the other half, apply 2 tablespoons of Calabrian chili paste, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
- Take your 6 slices of prosciutto and fluff them up, draping them artfully over the pesto on the bottom half of the sandwich.
- Next, gently pat the 8 ounces of burrata dry to remove excess moisture and place it on top of the prosciutto. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top for an added burst of flavor.
- Take the top half of the bread and press it firmly onto the burrata. This helps to meld all the flavors together while securing the delicious fillings inside.
- Finally, cut the assembled sandwich in half diagonally, showcasing the stunning layers within. Serve immediately while still warm.
