Also known as prosciutto crudo, it is an unsmoked Italian dry-cured ham. Made from a pork leg, it is a paper-thin meat with a delicious salty flavor!

Does prosciutto need to be cooked?

No! It does not have to be cooked. You can absolutely eat it without cooking and is commonly used on a charcuterie board without being cooked. We love baking it to give it a crispy texture.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Lay prosciutto down in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure pieces are not overlapping.
Place in oven, middle rack. Let cook 10-14 minutes or until just crispy.
Remove from oven and let cool completely (the pieces will crisp up even more as they cool).
Serve crumbled on your favorite salad – we love it on this Thanksgiving Salad (with this Champagne Vinaigrette!).
