The baked crostoni with ham and cheese are the perfect snack or, if made smaller, an appetizer for a relaxed home lunch!
I used SMOKED HAM, the Prague style, which, combined with smoked SCAMORZA, makes the result appetizing and almost gourmet!
A small dice of tomatoes adds color and a few green rounds of SPRING ONION make the dish even more tasty and colorful — which is always a plus!
Out of curiosity I used a fairly compact loaf-style bread I found at Esselunga with a compact crumb that seemed ideal, but if you prefer for savory crostoni I also recommend Apulian bread or Tuscan unsalted bread (i.e., unsalted)!
As always, below I leave you some crostoni recipes for other very easy savory preparations!
BAKED CROSTONI WITH HAM AND CHEESE
The kitchen of ASI
- Difficulty: Very easy
- Cost: Very inexpensive
- Rest time: 5 Minutes
- Preparation time: 15 Minutes
- Cooking time: 10 Minutes
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread
- 8 slices Prague cooked ham
- 8 slices smoked scamorza
- 3 datterini tomatoes (small plum tomatoes)
- 1 spring onion (scallion)
- to taste salt
Tools
- Aluminum baking pans
Steps
First, I preheat the oven to 392°F.
I lay out the slices of bread on a cutting board and, assembly-line style, place the Prague ham on top and a few very thin slices of SMOKED SCAMORZA.
I wash and dry the datterini tomatoes and cut them into pieces.
I also wash and dry the spring onion and cut a few green rounds with scissors.
I continue assembling the bread, cheese and ham crostoni, adding some tomatoes and a spring onion stalk.
I put them in the oven immediately for 5–6 minutes, then finish under the grill to brown the top of the crostoni.
They were so good I almost ate them all before my son came home — luckily he arrived in time!
Enjoy your meal!
