Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Piadine (flatbreads) | 2 |
| Prosciutto crudo | 150g |
| Mascarpone | 250g |
| Almonds | 50g |
Instructions:
-
Toast the Almonds: Begin by toasting the almonds to add a crunchy texture to the piadina. Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add the almonds. Toast them without any oil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, for about 4-5 minutes or until golden and aromatic. Once done, remove from heat and chop them roughly with a knife.
-
Warm the Piadine: Place one of the piadine on a preheated skillet. Allow it to warm for about 30 seconds on one side, then flip it to warm the other side for another 30 seconds.
-
Spread the Mascarpone: Once the piadina is warmed, spread half of the mascarpone cheese on one half of the piadina. Cover the pan with a lid and let it heat for about one more minute, allowing the mascarpone to soften and become creamy.
-
Add the Prosciutto: Transfer the piadina to a cutting board. Layer it with some slices of prosciutto crudo, evenly distributing them across the mascarpone.
-
Assemble the Piadina: Fold the piadina in half, wrapping the creamy mascarpone and prosciutto into a neat, tasty package. Repeat the process with the second piadina.
-
Serve: Slice the piadine in half and serve immediately while still warm, enjoying the savory combination of flavors and textures.
This recipe for Piadina with Prosciutto Crudo and Mascarpone is perfect for a quick yet indulgent meal.
