Method
- INFUSE THE OIL: Put 3 Tbsp olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Lightly crack 3–4 skin-on garlic cloves and add to the oil. Let the oil and garlic heat gradually.
- TOAST: Add 2 slices artisan bread and toast for about 5 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
- FILL AND WARM: Layer your preferred amounts of prosciutto, roasted pepper and mozzarella on one slice. Drizzle the mozzarella with olive oil, then add black pepper and a few basil leaves. Cover the pan to warm the filling and melt the cheese, then add the second slice.
- OPTIONAL HOMEMADE PEPPERS: Roast a red bell pepper in an oven-safe pan at 400°F for 45 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly and leave for 30 minutes. Remove the stem, skin and seeds and cut into strips.
