Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
The Prosciutto Pizza is a triumph of simplicity. It relies on temperature contrast: the hot, crispy, cheesy base is crowned after baking with paper-thin, room-temperature ham. The ham's fat just barely melts from the residual heat, keeping the meat silky. Peppery arugula and salty Parmesan complete the experience.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it salty?
Prosciutto and Parmesan are both cured and salty. Go easy on salt in the sauce.
Can I bake the ham?
Not recommended. Baked prosciutto dries out and loses its delicate texture.
