"I served this great bread with our Easter Dinner, and it was awesome! Do not skimp on the cheese (use the good stuff, not that awful green can stuff!) or EVOO, use the best oil you can find! From Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello"

ingredients

1 loaf long country bread, such as Pugliese
extra virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 small red onion, minced
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 ripe cantaloupe
salt
2 tablespoons minced flat leaf parsley
12 slices prosciutto, sliced in 1/2 crosswise

directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut the loaf of bread in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise into 1-inch thick slices. Lay the slices in a single layer on baking sheets. Generously drizzle the top side of each slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the slices. Cook in the oven until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside.
Marinate the onions in the vinegar for 5 minutes. While the onion is marinating, peel, seed and dice the melon and place in a bowl.
Add the diced melon to the onions, season with salt and stir to blend together. Add the minced parsley and stir to combine.
Wrap the end of each crostini with a piece of prosciutto.
Arrange on a platter and spoon a tablespoon of melon salsa on each and serve. Serve remaining salsa on the side.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
