Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 1/2-inch-thick slices ciabatta or other rustic Italian white bread
4 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
6 ounces jarred roasted red peppers,drained and torn into 1-inch-wide pieces

Steps:

Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl to blend.
Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface and spread the vinaigrette on one side of each slice. Divide the mozzarella equally among 4 of the bread slices. Top with the prosciutto and roasted red peppers, then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, vinaigrette-side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing them occasionally with a large spatula or the bottom of a small heavy saucepan, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side.

MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO TURNOVERS

Provided by Food Network

Categories appetizer

Time 2h50m

Yield 30 turnovers

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 batch Quickest Puff Pastry
2 cookie sheets lined with parchment paper
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup minced prosciutto
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
1 egg well beaten with a pinch salt

Steps:

Roll the pastry out into a 12 by 18-inch rectangle. Slide onto a pan and refrigerate for about 1 hour, until the dough is firm and rested. Use a floured, round, 21/2-inch cutter to cut out the dough. Arrange the cut dough on the prepared pans, about 1- inch apart. In a bowl, stir together the cheese, ham, parsley and pepper. Brush the egg wash lightly on the dough and arrange the filling over half of each circle of dough. Fold the empty side of the dough over the filling and seal the edges well with your fingertips. Seal again by pressing around the rim with the back of the tines of a fork. Dip the fork in flour so it doesn't stick. Arrange the turnovers about 1-inch apart on the prepared. Refrigerate the turnovers loosely covered with plastic wrap until 30 minutes before serving. Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees. Egg-wash the tops of the turnovers and bake for about 20 minutes, until they're well colored and crisp. Cool the pastries on the pans and reheat to serve. Serving: Reheat the turnovers at 350 degrees at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes to serve them warm. Storage: Refrigerate or freeze leftovers and reheat before serving.

Tips:

Make sure the puff pastry is cold and pliable before using. If it's too warm, it will be difficult to work with and the turnovers will not turn out as well.
Use high-quality ingredients for the filling. Fresh mozzarella and prosciutto will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the turnovers.
Don't overfill the turnovers. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they may burst open in the oven.
Brush the turnovers with egg wash before baking. This will help them brown and give them a nice shine.
Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

These mozzarella and prosciutto turnovers are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and impressive dish that everyone will love.
