Serves 4

Robiola is a buttery Italian cheese with a rich mouthfeel and unique flavors from both cow and sheep's milks. You may never be tempted again by brie after tasting this cheese.

    Ingredients: 
    • 1 loaf rustic Italian bread or sourdough baguette, cut into 16 slices
    • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 clove garlic, very finely minced
    • 4 ounces robiola cheese
    • 6 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto
    • 1 pound plum tomatoes, chopped
    • 1 small red onion, minced
    • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
    • 3 tablespoons chopped green olives
    • Drizzle of balsamic vinegar (optional)

    Method: 

    Prepare a grill, indoors or outdoors. Grill the bread on both sides until toasted. You may have to do this in two or more batches. Alternatively, use a toaster to toast bread. Mix olive oil with garlic. When bread is toasted, lightly brush olive oil and garlic mixture on one side of each piece of grilled bread. Spread a thin layer of robiola on each slice and top with thinly sliced prosciutto. In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, basil and olives. Spoon on top of bread slices and drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if desired.
