fresh tomato and prosciutto rounds
Not quite pizza, not quite a sandwich, but absolutely delicious! These little beauties are made with lightly toasted English muffin halves that have been buttered and sprinkled with a touch of garlic powder, topped with paper-thin sliced prosciutto, homegrown tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella, then baked in a toaster oven until melty and golden. (Note: Please allow for at least two per person.)
