1 French Baguette
Olive Oil
8 oz Fresh Mozzarella
2/3 lbs Prosciutto – Thin Sliced
½ c Pre-made Pesto
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 tsp Lemon Juice

Pre-heat the broiler to medium high heat. Slice the baguette into about 1/4 inch slice and place on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle the slices with olive oil. Place in the oven and broil for about 2 - 3 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Flip the slices over, drizzle with a little bit more olive oil and broil for about a minute, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

 In a bowl combine the pesto, lemon zest and juice. Cut the mozzarella in half and then slice it into half moons.  Slice each of the prosciutto slices in half.

Top each baguette slice with about a tsp of pesto, a half moon slice of mozzarella and half a slice of prosciutto.  Finish each slice with a dollop of pesto.  Arrange on a platter and serve.
