For the Filling
  • 8 oz Fresh Burrata Cheese Let it come to room temperature for maximum creaminess.
  • 6 slices Prosciutto di Parma Adds a savory note; fluff it for better layering.
  • 3 tbsp Basil Pesto Use traditional Genovese style for authenticity.
  • 2 tbsp Calabrian Chili Paste Add a spicy kick; modify quantity to taste.
  • 1 pinch Flaky Sea Salt Enhances overall flavor.
Optional Additions
  • 1 handful Arugula For a peppery kick and freshness.
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Glaze Complements the sandwich.

Preparation Steps
  1. Slice the French baguette or ciabatta in half and scoop out some soft bread from the top half.

  3. Spread basil pesto over the bottom half and apply Calabrian chili paste on the top half.
  4. Fluff prosciutto slices and layer over the pesto on the bottom half of the sandwich.
