Notes

  1. For Extra Crispiness: Bake prosciutto slices at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes to create crispy prosciutto chips.
  2. Pairing Tip: Serve with a chilled glass of Prosecco or a dry rosé for a delightful flavor balance.
  3. Alternative Cheeses: Swap burrata with fresh mozzarella or goat cheese for a different creamy texture.
  4. Storage Tip: Store leftover prosciutto wrapped in parchment paper in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  5. Homemade Balsamic Reduction: Simmer balsamic vinegar over low heat until it thickens into a rich glaze for drizzling.
