Ingredients for 1 ciabatta:

  • 1 ciabatta
  • 100 gr green asparagus
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 50 gr Parma ham
  • 50 gr Parmesan cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh pepper

How to prepare it:

Start by baking the bread in the oven based on the instructions of the package. Have it cool down and once it’s cold enough cut it into nice slim slices. Put the slices on a griddle.

Put some olive oil in a small bowl, add crushed garlic of the garlic clove (cut the garlic in half, take out the root and squeeze it into the oil) and set it aside so that the garlic can really get into the olive oil.

Cut the bottom of the asparagus and put a small pan on the stove to boil the asparagus. Once the water in boiling, add the asparagus and boil them for 5 minutes. Rinse them and let them cool down.

Use the oil with garlic to grease the bread slices, make sure that you cover all of them and put them under the grill for about 2 minutes until they have a very nice light brown glance, they should be somewhat soft on the bottom and nice and crispy on the top. Be careful that you don’t grill the bread to long, they turn black in a blink of an eye. Put them aside for a moment.

Now you can grill the Parma ham. 5 to 10 minutes should be enough. They should be crispy but not dry at the same time. Put the pieces of ham on top of the bruschetta, add the asparagus on top.

Garnish the bruschettas with some grated Parmesan cheese and fresh black pepper.

Enjoy!
