Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 28-ounce jar tomato-basil sauce, such as Giada DeLaurentiis for Target
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
4 ounces thinly-sliced prosciutto, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
One 7 to 8-ounce ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into six 1/4 to 1/3-inch-thick slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup (2 ounces) shredded Gruyere
Serving suggestion: grilled bread

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring the tomato-basil sauce and red pepper flakes to a simmer over medium heat. Cook uncovered until thick, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the basil.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Place six 5-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet. Divide the sauce equally among the ramekins. Divide the prosciutto among the ramekins. Place the slices of mozzarella between 3 paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Place the slices of mozzarella on top of the prosciutto. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the Gruyere on top.
  • Broil until the cheese is melted and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve with grilled bread.
