Ingredients

  • 1 loaf ciabatta or crusty bread
  • 4 oz prosciutto
  • ¼ cup pesto
  • ¼ cup pistachios
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 loaf of ciabatta in half lengthwise. Drizzle the cut sides with 1 tbsp olive oil and toast in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Spread 0.25 cup pesto evenly over both toasted cut sides of the bread.

  3. 3

    Coarsely chop 0.25 cup pistachios and sprinkle them over the pesto, pressing lightly so they stick.

  4. 4

    Layer 4 oz prosciutto over the bottom half of the bread, folding it to fit evenly.

  5. 5

    Close the sandwich with the top half, press gently, then slice into 2-4 pieces and serve immediately.
