Viral Prosciutto Caprese Sandwich

Recipe by: Karen Rosenbloom

This sandwich is the epitome of a savory lunch.

Creamy burrata on toasted sourdough... Sweet heirloom tomatoes, and smoky layered prosciutto make this the ultimate sandwich.

It’s also the sandwich that became TikTok famous after a video I posted making it in 2021 gained nearly 5 million views.

Here’s how to make it-

Ingredients:

2 slices of sourdough bread

3 Tbsp pesto (store- bought is fine)

1 ball of burrata cheese

1 thinly sliced heirloom tomato

6 slices of thinly sliced prosciutto

1/3rd cup baby arugula or mixed greens

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste.

(Makes 1 Serving)

Instructions:

Toast the sourdough bread with olive oil until golden brown, then immediately spread pesto onto both pieces.

On one slice of bread, add the burrata cheese, sliced in half, allowing the cheese to evenly cover the surface of the bread.

On top of the burrata, add the sliced heirloom tomato, seasoning the slices with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Layer the prosciutto on top of the tomatoes.

Add on the arugula, then finish the sandwich by drizzling extra virgin olive oil.

Cover with the second piece of toasted bread, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

1.) There are many variations of this sandwich. A nice balsamic glaze is a beautifully sweet addition to this salty combination. You can also add calabrian chili paste or smoked red peppers for a more dynamic bite.

2.) Water is the enemy of any sandwich. To avoid water content, make sure after washing your arugula and tomatoes there is no residual moisture. Additionally, burrata cheese typically comes in water, so be sure to dry it before adding it to the bread.
