01 -

These come together in under 30 minutes but taste like something from a restaurant
The combination of warm melted mozzarella with salty prosciutto is absolute perfection

02 -

Watch the bread carefully in the oven, it goes from perfectly toasted to burnt in seconds
Do not overcook the mozzarella or it will become rubbery instead of creamy and soft

03 -

Let the mozzarella come to room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing, it will melt more evenly
Hold the balsamic glaze bottle high when drizzling for those artistic thin lines
