« SCROLL PHOTOS LEFT TO RIGHT »

Here's a delicious new recipe that's quick and easy and makes for a more substantial appetiser or snack, toasted ciabatta with buffalo mozzarella, fresh nectarine, prosciutto, and thyme.

These toasted ciabattas are best enjoyed straight after they've been made, but if you do have leftovers they can be toasted again or grilled in the oven.

If summer fruits aren't in season feel free to substitute the nectarines for thinly sliced pear. You could even lightly grill them, delicious!

Today I’ve used ciabatta but feel free to use focaccia, or Turkish bread would also be a good option - something light and airy with a little crunch when toasted.

I’ve used buffalo mozzarella and fior di latte, but you could use any fresh milky mozzarella you have available. Burrata and stracciatella are also delicious on these.

As always, please let me know if you make the recipe @gatherandfeast, and feel free to ask any questions. Enjoy!
