Ingredients for Burrata Crostini

Here are my tips for the main ingredients you’ll need to make these delicious melon crostini. Find the full list of ingredients in the printable recipe card below.

• Bread – go for a soft, crusty French bread or even a ciabatta, with lots of air pockets. A good bread always makes a difference when it comes to crostini!
• Burrata Cheese – mozzarella’s cousin cheese! A soft, creamy, and spreadable delicacy. You can also use sliced fresh mozzarella, soft feta or even goat cheese for this recipe.
• Prosciutto – look for authentic Italian prosciutto for the best results.
• Melon (or Peaches) – just about any type of sweet melon or cantaloupe will work well for this recipe. I love it with fresh, sliced peaches, too!
• Basil
• Olive Oil & Balsamic Glaze – I recommend using a glaze versus vinegar for best results.

Start with the Bread

To make these delicious melon prosciutto crostini, you’ll want to start with the bread.

1. Preheat the oven broil on the high setting.
2. Cut thick slices of bread and place it onto a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, apply olive oil on top of each slice.
3. Toast the bread in the oven under the broiler until it’s golden and crispy.

Preparing the Melon

While the bread is toasting, begin working on the melon. Cut the melon in half, then use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds.

Place the melon open side down onto a cutting board, then use a knife to cut away the rind. Slice the melon into pieces that would fit nicely onto your bread.

How to Make Melon Prosciutto Crostini

You’ll love how quickly and easily these melon crostini come together!

1. While the toasted bread is still warm, use a cheese spreader to apply a generous amount of burrata cheese onto each piece of bread. Season the burrata with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Gently wrap each slice of melon with a piece of prosciutto. I usually cut each prosciutto slice in half lengthwise, using 1 slice for 2 pieces of melon.
3. Place the wrapped melon onto the burrata.
4. Once all the crostini are ready and arranged on a platter, drizzle them with olive oil, balsamic glaze, and add freshly ground black pepper.
5. Roll the basil leaves, then gently chop them. Sprinkle the basil over the crostini before enjoying!
