six slices ham, cut each while into 8 wedges
8 oz fresh mozzarella, grated
3-4 tablespoons fresh or bottled pesto
1 1/2 teaspoons grated Parmesan

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Cut the breadstuff on the diagonal making 1/2 inch thick slices without slicing the breadstuff all the agency through. Repeat, going the contrary direction forming a cross hatch pattern.


Using a spreader or spoon, spread pesto betwixt each cut. This scoop together with spreader plant perfectly for this!


Insert i wedge of ham inwards betwixt each cut.


Add mozzarella betwixt each cut. Drizzle alongside olive oil. Wrap tightly inwards foil. Place on a baking rack together with bake xv minutes. Remove from the oven, let on together with sprinkle alongside Parmesan together with provide to the oven to brown, close 5 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes earlier plating together with serving.

My thoughts:
I dear appetizers that hold off impressive together with are fun to consume only are likewise tardily to make, carry together with serve. This stuffed breadstuff hits all those points. I used smoky ham slices which worked perfectly, they are a proficient thickness together with then you lot tin actually larn them in-between the cuts together with bring a lot of flavor. For ease's sake (and the fact that you lot purpose less than 1/4 cup), I used bottled pesto only experience gratis to purpose fresh if you'd like. Thanks to the mozzarella the mix holds together good when you lot tear off a chunk. It's of import to purpose a good, crusty loaf of bread--I larn mine at the local Italian market--so you lot tin cutting it 95% of the agency through together with even together with then bring it concord its shape. The results are worth it! Great Italian flavors together with smokiness from the hickory smoked ham.

I actually enjoyed this! I am non e'er somebody who makes an appetizer only this i was together with then tardily together with and then flavorful, I tin encounter making this in i lawsuit to a greater extent than together with again.
