  • Take off the heat and leave to cool. You can then blend it for a smooth consistency, or keep it as is for a rustic chunky style. I left mine chunky.
  • Brush your bread slices with some Belmorso EVOO, and grill each one. You can use a grilling pan, or the same pan you used for your onions. It will infuse the bread with that flavour.

  • Top each slice with the balsamic onion jam you made.

  • Add one or two slices of prosciutto crudo on top of the onions, depending on how large each is. Mine were small, so I added two.

  • I used a potato peeler to shave some pecorino cheese on top of the prosciutto. You can use a proper cheese shaver.
  • Add a few leaves of fresh basil.
  • Drizzle a little Belmorso IGP Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and get munching. Buon appetito!
