Method
 

  1. Slice the baguette horizontally into two halves. Optional: Brush cut sides with olive oil and toast in a pan until golden.

  3. Break open the burrata ball and spread the creamy interior (stracciatella) over the tomato layer. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Drape the prosciutto slices over the cheese in folded waves to create volume.
