Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces

Notes
For a vegetarian version, omit prosciutto and add toasted walnuts. Use burrata instead of mozzarella for a decadent upgrade. Ensure bread is thoroughly toasted to prevent sogginess. Assemble just before serving for best texture.
