Ingredients
- 3 Slices Prosciutto ( about 1 and 1/2 ounces)
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pineapple
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 3 ounces baby arugula
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 cups good- quality whole milk
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 loaf Cinnamon Raisin Bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons pure cane sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the prosciutto flat on the pan and bake until the fat turns golden grown and the meat is dark, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the prosciutto to paper towels to drain (it will crisp as it cools). Break into large pieces.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some of the olive oil. Working in batches, grill the pineapple slices until lightly charred, 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side.
- Place the arugula in a medium bowl. Add a few tablespoons of the Citrus Vinaigrette and lightly toss to coat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon and orange juice with the honey. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified and thickened. Season with salt to taste.
- To make the cheese; combine the milk and buttermilk in a medium saucepan over medium-high hear. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the curds separate from the whey, 10-15 mins, gently stirring constantly.
- Remove pan from the heat.
- Line a large sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a deep bowl. Pour the milk mixture through, trapping the curds in the cheesecloth.
- Gently fold the salt into the curds and let the cheese drain for 15 minutes. Bring the cheesecloth around the curds to form a ball and extract some of the liquid by gently squeezing. Discard the liquid.
- Server the ricotta cheese at room temperature or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a serrated bread knife cute the bread diagonally into thin slices. Transfer to the baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter int he microwave. Lightly brush the tops of the slices with the melted butter and sprinkle with the sugar.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
- Store the crisps in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
