An Outrageous Prosciutto Bruschetta is an Italian meat-based antipasto dish where a slice of grilled or toasted bread is rubbed with garlic and then topped with a combination of other ingredients, including tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese. Our Outrageous Prosciutto Bruschetta recipe puts a spin on this traditional Italian antipasto dish, by using roasted red peppers, prosciutto and parmesan cheese. It is an easy to prepare recipe and perfect as an appetizer for dinner parties or even as a snack.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven twice and make sure you are using both the broiler and the bake function.
2.	Cut the baguette or crusty loaf of bread into ¾ inch slices and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet using the bake function of your oven. Make sure both sides of the slices are coated with olive oil and bake for 5 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
3.	While the bread slices are baking, mix garlic, Italian seasoning and olive oil together in a bowl and set aside.
4.	Once the bread slices are baked, let them cool and then brush the garlic-infused olive oil mixture on top of them and broil the slices with prosciutto and roasted red peppers until the prosciutto is slightly crispy, and the peppers are warm.
5.	Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese and salt over the slices and serve hot.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Prosciutto contains a reasonable amount of protein and iron. Roasted red peppers are rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, which are both antioxidants that support the immune system. By using whole-grain bread, in place of white bread, you’ll be able to retain the necessary fibre and lessen any digestion-related problems.
