Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing your French baguette or ciabatta in half lengthwise. Scoop out some soft bread to create a hammock for the fillings.
  2. Drizzle olive oil on the cut sides of the bread. Heat a skillet or set your broiler to high, and toast the bread cut-side down for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Spread 3 tablespoons of basil pesto evenly on the bottom half of the bread. Spread 2 tablespoons of Calabrian chili paste on the top half.
  4. Layer 6 slices of prosciutto over the pesto on the bottom half, ensuring a fluffy texture.
  5. Pat the burrata dry, place it over the prosciutto, and sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  6. Place the toasted top half of the bread over the burrata, pressing down gently.
  7. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.
